An Open Letter To People Who Choose Their S.O. Over Their Friends
Buddy Project

Friend,

I’m so happy for you being in a relationship with someone you like and cares about you. I really am! I’m glad you found someone to share our life with, someone to love.

But you need to stop choosing your significant others over your friends all the time. Trust me, I understand. I’m in a relationship too, and sometimes all I want to do is spend time with them. It’s all about balance.

Whenever I ask you to hangout, most of the time the answer is “no”, because you’ve got plans with your S.O. Sometimes, you’ll even cancel plans with me to hang out with them. It hurts, but I always let it go. Because I want you to be happy, and you deserve to be happy.

But what about my happiness? I’m tired of biting my tongue all the time to make you happy. I deserve to be happy, too! Friendship isn’t a one-way street, you’ve got to pull your own weight. We’ve been friends for a while, a lot longer than you’ve known your S.O. and way longer than you’ve been dating. I know all of your intimate secrets, all of the people you’ve ever crushed on, and all of your hopes and dreams. We’ve shared together many good times, LOL moments, and a fair share of sad ones, too. We’ve seen each other through ups and downs, highs and lows. We have an incredible friendship!

But I haven’t seen you much in the last few months. You’re busy making memories with your boo. Pleasemake time for me, too. I miss you. It really hurts for you to constantly choose your S.O. over me. It would mean so much to me if we could go out for a couple drinks, and catch up. Tell me about your boo and all the adventures you’ve had, I’m sure you have so much to tell me. I’ve got a lot to tell you! I’d love to know how you’ve been doing and what’s new in your life, because I care about you. I’d love to have you back, friend.

Sincerely,

Don't Forget About Me

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.
