An Open Letter to Peta Murgatroyd

Maybe if I stayed with dance, I would be almost as amazing as you.

Dear Peta,

Where do I begin? It's crazy to think that just a few years ago I saw you on DWTS for the very first time, back in season 13. You went from getting eliminated first that season, to winning the season after. I have been watching DWTS since season 5. But when you came on the show, it changed. I was in middle school at the time and was just lost. At that time, I didn't have anything going for myself and always felt at the bottom. I considered myself to be stupid, ugly, fat and just about any other name that you can think of. When you came back the next season and won it all, I was absolutely amazed. Your dancing inspired me to get out of the dark place that I always knew and helped me see the light. Your dancing sent a message to me that I will never forget. That message was to not care about what anyone thinks and to just keep on dancing. That's the message I got. That's what came to mind when I saw you dance.

You have always been one of my favorite pro's on DWTS. Sorry if I do not show it a lot. Even though I do not tweet you everyday or tag you in a post on Instagram everyday, I still appreciate you. I love everything that you do and how inspiring you are. You are like the sister I never had and I don't think I can be more thankful for that. You have changed my life Peta. You have changed it for the better. I no longer feel like a failure or feel worthless. I've learned to love myself, by just watching you dance. You're amazing. And you are definitely one of a kind. It actually was not until you came on, that I really became an avid watcher of DWTS. Even though I did start watching back in season 5, when you came on, I became a lot more dedicated and a much bigger fan. You brought so much fun to the ballroom. You just made the show fun. You were and still are the pro I think of, when I hear "Dancing with the Stars."

Still to this day, I face many different challenges. I sometimes still get told that I'm not good enough or that I don't have capabilities to do certain things. At least I have you to back me up when I need it. You inspire me so much and you never fail to lift me up when I am down.

I hope you do absolutely amazing on your tour. I unfortunately will not be there to cheer you on because I am going to DC the day you guys are near my hometown. I really hope there will be more dates coming up very soon.

Lastly, I just want to thank you for being one of the best role models out there. You've inspired me so much and I just really hope that I meet you some day. I could hug you and hug you and just thank you and thank you.

Quitting dance when I was eight years old, was and still is one of my biggest regrets. Maybe if I stuck with it, I could be almost as amazing as you.

Love you Peta!

And thanks for everything,

Kaitlyn

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
