An Open Letter To My Friends Who I Don't See Enough
The Odyssey

Dear Friend Who I Hardly See,

You should know that I want to see you more often. I hope that all this time that we go through not seeing each other is as hard for me as it is for you. I hope that the fact that our schedules are so hectic does not lead you to believe that I have forgotten about you.

I know we do not hang out as much as we used to. I wish that I had more time in the day to see everyone that I want to see, but we all know that is not how this works. There is never enough time to do the things that we want to do. I hope that you can understand where I am coming from.

I hope that when you see me hanging out with other people, it does not lead you to believe that I have chosen them over you.That is not the case at all. I am always thinking about our good times, our conversations, our laughs, but sometimes I just share those moments with someone else.

I know that sometimes we are just too busy to get around to seeing each other. I know that the text messages, phone calls, and random dates on Facetime are not nearly enough to make you understand how thankful I am for you. It may seem like I have forgotten, but I promise I have not.

I know I am not great at keeping up with you all the time. That is not your fault, sometimes I just get too busy, or don't want to bug you, or just don't mess with my phone at all. Those are not excuses, but I promise I am trying to work on that.

I hope that you know that you mean the world to me. I know that it does not seem that way all the time, but I can assure you that it is true. I cherish the memories that I have with you. I think about all the great times that we have had together no matter what we were doing. I giggle at the funny moments that replay in my head when I am in certain situations. I see pictures of us, and I smile.

Thanks for all the good times we've had, an for the adventures to come.

Love Always,

Your Distant Friend

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.
