Trump, The Media, And The Government Are Our Wake Up Calls

Fake news, just like gossiping and rumors. Trump using Twitter and social media to express himself but when you go up to his face it's all a 'misunderstanding.'

Where do I even start? Trump winning office has caused a lot of fear, protests, uncertainty, hopelessness, and questioning thoughts on what our country, media, and government, has come to and will come to.

It feels like high school again, it really does. All I see on the news is how Trump replies and reacts through TWITTER. His small minded comments and ignorant replies, just reminds me more and more of ignorant high school students always trying to show off, act like they're the best thing ever, and say the DUMBEST shit ever. However, since it has been discovered that CNN makes FAKE NEWS, which isn't much of a shock to me either since I started noticing a while back how the headlines, stories, and conversations on the once respected program are...small minded, underdeveloped, and not getting to the actual point. I didn't understand why reporter's reactions, and their ways of speaking to one another was like watching people argue in high school. They try to make the bullshit fall out of their mouth sound adequate and make themselves seem confident in what they're saying as if it is right and true.

Since Trump has won elections, I hate to even admit it to myself but even I have become to second guess myself in this country and my abilities... I started to think I couldn't make a change in the education system.That my major, hopes, dreams are just going to be treated like a joke.

If someone like Trump won the US elections, our government not wanting to pass laws and bills that may help the entire country (such as Obamacare where Obama had a better and original plan in mind but republicans just want to say no to everything he says because division of parties obviously), false news being reported to the public, Facebook and social media with its circulation of fake articles, the lack of truth and sources being told to the public. All we see is corruption and dishonesty. All that people talk about, or can talk about is small minded topics that we have been brainwashed to care about, and think about through the media, through advertising, through the news and online.

How can I bring something so powerful into change if Obama himself gets stopped by a bunch of people in congress who call themselves republicans and have power, money, and authority to make things happen or not happen (sounds a little like a gang or cult to me but let me stop before I go there). It's sad to see that in a country where we are SHOWN that if you have money, power, and authority you call the shots. If you don't, well, you just have to do the best you can do.

Now, of course, I do believe in having the law of attraction on your side. If you work hard to achieve what you set your mind to, don't let anything stop you or affect you, you can do it. The hard part is we are creatures who are affected by our environment, who over time, or even in the moment, can be affected by anything (consciously or subconsciously). Having a strong mind can only get you so far. In High School I felt the same way I feel right now. If anything a little worse because I have done nothing but reach for the stars and it seems like my oxygen tank ran out of power because someone screwed me over with the battery charge. In high school, I felt like I didn't belong because I cared more about honesty, sincerity, humanity, helping one another, and learning about things that actually matter and can connect to our place in this world...But everyone else would rather talk about gossip, drama, or bully each other on social media. Kind of like Trump, our media, and our government who I think needs to stop calling itself a democracy because at this point I call bullshit. We really don't know what's going on in our country, let alone other countries, let alone what secrets the US is really keeping back from us.

The bright side is, truth has reached some surface, some crazy things like Trump winning will hopefully cause the citizens of the US to search for truth, enlightenment, and ACT to make a positive, developed, change in our country. We need to start demanding what we want to see happen. Better health care, more humanity and less racism, more people looking into themselves and asking am I really the best person I can be? Acknowledge we have the power to make a change if we come together and demand it. There are more citizens than there are corrupt people in the government. We need a precise plan, a precise demand, a precise well-developed vision of what we want to see in this country. It all starts with us, it all starts with questioning ourselves.

I want to see hope, equality, truth, better health care, less corruption and brainwashing in our music and media. More people doing the RIGHT thing and not what benefits them alone, more kind-heartedness, more smile's and hellos as we pass by one another on the streets. More action, and less talk of bullshit. I want to see less of the US going into other countries affairs to just destroy them and take the resources they want. I want to see Planned Parenthood, free college, higher pay. A better education system where we help the child's development and not just trying to make them better at math because India is better. I want to see a change in our climate where we work to stabilize it. I want to see less division between people of different races and promoting racial white purity. I want to see more affordable homes and safer communities. I want to see the Peace-Topia society I created as a project as in my 8th grade US History class. I still feel as if it is possible, only if we ALL as a nation believe it is possible.

Here is a video of someone speaking on the behave of this terrible time we are in and how it's actually a good thing. Maybe we needed something crazy to happen for us to actually make a change.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
