Every year
on your birthday I try to express my feelings for you through a text but I
always feel like this isn’t enough. If you have an idea of how much you changed
my life Stephanie … if I like kpop nowadays it’s because of you, all began with
you and I’ll be forever grateful to you and the truth is that even if you do
not know about this but you saved my life. I still remember the day when I first saw
you and I instantly became a SNSD fan. It wasn’t seeing you in mv but just a simple picture of
you and you were smiling, the most beautiful and genuine smile I’ve ever seen
and I started looking more about you and the members, since that day every time
I saw you smile I felt a lull in my heart and I dreamed about you in that same
day … I just remember a saw a lot of edits of you and my heart pounded so hard
that I woke up and ended up smiling and then you became my inspiration and my
dream Stephanie and since then I dream to meet you and see you smiling at me.
Maybe it was fate trying to tell me that I would edit pictures of you and to be
honest this is like a medicine and therapy to me, I feel so happy when I see
your pictures and when I edit them. When you have used one of my edits in
your ig’s profile, I never felt more happy in my life and I know this is
completely insane because I’m just one more fan but that meant the world to me,
actually YOU mean the world to me. I can’t imagine myself without you in my life,
it’s impossible because you became a part of me. Only God knows how much I love
you and how much I pray for your happiness. You’re strong Stephi, you really
are … you had to deal with a important lost when you were young and you decided
to move to another country alone when you weren’t fluent in that language by
that time and although your dad didn’t want you to go, you just said it was
your dream and you went and made it! You met another 8 amazing girls and now
you’re part of the biggest group of Asia. Do you have idea how proud I am of
you? You went through difficult things, trained hard and continued to fight
with a smile on your face to get where you are. That’s why you’re my biggest
inspiration Stephanie and I have a lot of fails, I give up easily and cry
almost every day but when I see you, somehow you give me strength to move on …
so thank you! Thanks for being who you are and making me know a little what
happiness is, I’ll have an eternal debt with you. I hope you enjoy this important
day and be happy. I really wish you could read this but I just hope my words
reach your heart somehow. Happy 26th birthday my Queen, I love you until the
end Stephanie Young Hwang.
u know that feeling deep in your tummy where u just dont feel comfy and u feel sad and sort of want to cry but not about anything specific its like your entire body is just upset and unnerved all the way to the core almost like ur just longing for something but dont know what
ESPN magazine’s annual Body Issue hit newsstands Monday, showcasing some of the world’s most celebrated athletes in all their chiseled, well-toned glory. Yet it’s also become an opportunity to interrogate American standards of beauty. For instance, this year’s issue features Brittney Griner, who has faced a wealth of controversy over her gender.
In two days about a quarter of a million people will be made stateless. They will have no homes, no passports, and no civil rights. There are several reasons for this, but the primary reason is racism.
At issue is a ruling by the Constitutional Court in the Dominican Republic to strip away the citizenship of several generations of Dominicans:
According to the decision, Dominicans born after 1929 to parents who are not of Dominican ancestry are to have their citizenship revoked. The ruling affects an estimated 250,000 Dominican people of Haitian descent, including many who have had no personal connection with Haiti for several generations.
Dominican Republic has always had a longstanding hatred towards Haiti for years but what they’re doing is literally taking anyone who’s family lineage cannot be traced back to 1929, and putting them on a one-way bus back to Haiti, whether they were born in the DR or not. They don’t care.
The US State Department has denounced the Dominican government for this plan, and pointed out that it is a gross violation of human rights according to the U.N. charter.
Below are 5 things you need to know about what is happening in the Dominican Republic:
The DR government has revoked the citizenship of more than 100,000 Dominicans born in the country of Haitian parents.
Many of the Dominican-born Haitians facing the looming threat of deportation have never visited Haiti or know anyone there.
The criteria the government will use in deciding who is to be bussed out of the country is “dark-skinned Dominicans with Haitian facial features.”
The DR government claims to have established a legalization process for Dominican-Haitians wishing to remain in the country, but the system is close-to-impossible, according to sources on the ground.
Even though currently the deportation of Dominic-Haitians persists as only a possibility, all evidence points to it happening.
