336 Miles

Distance doesn't matter because she is my person

336 miles.

Five hours and 45 minutes.

But those are just numbers.

Best friends will stick with you through thick and thin, and that's how you know they are real friends. Making friends and then moving away is hard, but when you have a best friend like mine distance doesn't matter.

My best friend is my rock, she's crazy and annoying and beautiful and I love her more than anything. She's basically my soul sister. She helped me get through starting a new school, she was my first friend there, and she helped me get through having to pack up and leave her. Even though we live so far away from each other, we still make regular trips back and forth whenever we get the chance. I only see her for a few days every couple of months but that doesn't change anything between us.

We can go weeks without talking and pick right back up where we left off. People will enter and exit your life at the most unexpected times and she entered mine when I needed her the most. And I hope she never leaves because without her I would be lost.

We basically lived together the first full summer I lived there and we worked together and pretty much the same schedule. Some days she would have to work late and show up at my house at 1 A.M and come jump on my bed to tell me good morning. She had her own side of the closet, her own drawer, and her own side of the bathroom. On pay days we would go to Walmart and stock up on lunch items for the next 2 weeks. When we had good paycheck we would go on best friend dates and go to the movies or out too eat.

I miss her crazy self so much.

We were meant to be best friends. From day one we just clicked, and even though we get on each other's nerves most of the time she's still going to be there for me and I'll always be there for her. She has been an absolute blessing and I thank God everyday that He put her in my life when He did. We both ended up getting tickets to the same concert and didn't know about it until a few days later, and I think that was God giving us a chance to see each other because neither of us had been in the best moods and we really needed the other. We both have decided to go to the same college, and we didn't know until I asked her while I was filling stuff out. The fact that I get to be close to my best friend everyday in just a few short months makes me more than happy.

I could easily go on and on about how absolutely amazing my best friend is but then I would never be able to finish this because there is an endless number of reasons as to why she my person. Because who else could I talk to about a new guy every few days and then not think I'm crazy because she's just as crazy as I am.

She means more to me than she will ever know.

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.
