An Open Letter To My Former Best Friend

Not all best friends can last forever.

An Open Letter To My Former Best Friend

To My Ex-BFF,

First, I really hope you actually read this.

I am writing this letter because I want you to know that I do not hate you. I never have. I never will.

I want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being such a good friend to me. I want to thank you for all the fun times we had and all the lessons I learned along the way. I hope I was as good of a friend to you too.

You and I were inseparable. We were like sisters and got along so well. It was a natural connection that was so easy. We were relatively like-minded, and our personalities matched. We were instant friends, and soon after that, we were best friends. We would stay up laughing, telling secrets and just enjoying life and our friendship. I will always be grateful for those memories.

In those few years we went through a lot, especially as high schoolers. From break-ups to make-ups, to triumphs and loss, we were there for each other.

To be honest, I do not understand what happened between us, and I wonder if you do. I do not know what happened to our friendship. It seemed like just as quickly as it started, it ended. I doubt that the physical distance between us was the reason why our friendship ended. I was so confused. I thought you would be my friend for life.

It has been three years since we last spoke. We have both gone our separate ways, found happiness and success. I am truly happy for you and where you are in your life. I just wish we could actually talk about it with each other rather than just seeing updates on Facebook or hearing information from other sources. You are doing great things, and even though we are not best friends, or even friends at all, I am still proud of you. I am still happy for you.

I am thankful that you were in my life, even if for only those two-and-a-half years. You were my best friend, and I have learned so much from that relationship. Like I said, I will never hate you. And I hope you do not hate me. No matter where life takes us, just know that I am always rooting for you.

Thanks again, for being a friend.

All The Best,
Your Ex-BFF

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
