"Because of you I laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and smile a lot more"

Me and my best friend have known each other for 10 years. When we first met we didn't like each other. I think, over time, we looked past our problems with each other, and starting talking like people. Once we built that friendship, we both knew we would be best friends forever. We spent the entire summer, between junior and senior year, together. There were few days that we weren't together.

In 2008, we had a falling out. Like most teenagers, of course it had to do with a boy. I went to boot camp, and after boot camp I realized I missed my best friend. I texted her, we made up, and we have talked almost every day since then. She has been there for various aspects of my life. Due to the Navy, I only went home once or twice a year; if I even made it home that year. Our friendship, to this day, is still going strong.

So, I decided to write this for her.

To my long distance best friend,

I know it's hard. I know it's hard to want to come over, and sit down, watch Disney movies, eat pizza, and talk about life. I know it's hard, when something drastic happens, that I can't be there to celebrate with you. Luckily, I was able to make it to your wedding. You looked so beautiful. I was so happy for you that day, just as I was happy when you found out you were pregnant with your first child.

I know it's hard, when something bad happens, and all you want to do is sit down and talk about it. We have been there through so much. Life, death, miscarriages, marriage, divorce, children... Through all of it you have been my rock with every single occasion. I love you for that.

You will always be my best friend. You're stuck with me, dude. I love you so much! I don't know what i would do if I didn't have you to vent to, get advice from, and to help me through everything. I know sometimes it feels like I don't care, or that I'm drifting, but just know that I am so appreciative of you.

Thank you for being you.

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.
