Life has a way of knocking us off our feet. Having the right people around us to help us back up and shake the dust off can make all the difference in the world! Here are some friends that are defiantly worth keeping in your corner.

1. Friends that give you their time

I've always heard that the line between a good friend and a great friend is who you know you can call in the middle of the night, and everyone needs at least one person that will be there for them no matter what time it is. Sometimes there just aren't words for a situation, but we all know that one person who's presence is comforting.

2. Friends that give you YOUR time

Good friends know that you don't have to hang out every day 24/7 to be there for each other- sometimes we need space and the right people realize that this is ok.

3. Friends that lift you up

Friends who know how to build you up in bad times are worth their weight in gold. These are the people who will put their arm around you and walk with you through bad times.

4. Friends that need your help

As great as it is to have people who you can rely on, you'll never truly grow until you have someone that you're able to pour into for yourself. Investing in another person is one of the most rewarding things you can ever do.

5. Friends who think differently than you

While it's absolutely important to have people that can grow along side you, it's also a good idea to have people who are willing to give you a perspective that will grow the way you think.

6. Friends who are completely honest with you

Sometimes the truth just hurts, and it takes a lot of love to speak the truth in a situation where it may not be well received.

7. Friends who know how to listen

There are times where we don't need advice, we just need someone to be there. The friends that know that love doesn't take words are worth more than we know how to say.

8.Friends who's personality is different than yours

It's easy to forget that the hole world isn't full of people just like us- maybe you're super quiet or even super out going. Having someone who may not always respond like you is a way to grow as a person and gain new perspective. People that help round you out can give you a hole new way to see the world.

9. Friends who know how to laugh

It's hard to think of better medicine than a good belly laugh. A friend who knows how to find the joy in a day full of rain clouds is someone you need to keep close.

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.

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.
