10 Ways You Know You've Found Your Best Friend
Lisa Perlman

At some point in your life, you find someone that you know you can't let go of. Whether it's when you're five or when you get to college, this person fills the empty hole you've been missing. A friend like this is hard to come by, so never let go when you find them. Here are ten signs that tell you you've found your other half...

1. You can be yourself:

No matter how weird or awkward you are this person embraces you for who you are. No moment is too weird or to quiet. You can juju on that beat with no problem or just sit in silence for hours.

2. You guys basically have twin telepathy:

You know that moment where you finish someone's sentence or say the same thing at once? Yeah, you experience that all the time. You know exactly what your friend is going to say and when.

3. You voluntarily tell each other your most embarrassing secrets:

From the time that you accidentally peed yourself to when you fell down the stairs in front of the whole school.

4. You trust them to not say anything, even if you don't say not to tell anyone:

You don't have to say, "promise not to tell anyone" because you know they won't say anything.

5. You're basically part of their family.

Your friend's family greets and treats you like you're always around. They yell and fight as if you weren't there. You might as well be with your own family.

6. You can give them your clothes and know you'll get it back.

It is so annoying when people come over and ask to borrow clothes because you know you're never getting them back, but with your best friend you know you'll have them washed, folded, and in your hands by Monday morning.

7. They know how you'll react to a certain situation:

No matter what it is that is being said or done, your best friend will know exactly how you'll react. That's why you always hear them say, "I knew you would do that" or "I knew you would like (or dislike) that". They're always ready to react the same way you do.

8. You can't go more than an hour without communicating:

Whether you're Snapchatting, texting, calling, face-timing, or liking each other's picture, whenever you're away from each other you're still together. Those three seconds you spend a part have to be spent together through the phone.

9. You can sit in silence for 5 minutes or more and not feel awkward once:

You can talk forever, but you can also be silent forever.

10. They're the only person that can tell you the truth, and you can't get hurt if it's mean:

If you ask for the truth they will tell you the truth, whether it hurts or not. Maybe you're having a bad hair day, have something in your teeth, or your attitude is just not the best, they will let you know. It's okay when they tell you, though, because they're not trying to be mean; they're trying to help you out. No one else is allowed to do this, though.

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.
