An Open Letter to the Friends Who Picked Me Up

Thank you for wiping my tears away

An Open Letter to the Friends Who Picked Me Up
Alyssia Vieyra

It was you..Those nights when I kept staring at my phone, waiting for a text from the one person who stole my heart but didn't care for it. Or when I would be crying my eyes out, hidden under my covers wanting to disappear from the world. It was you who was always there to lift my head up and tell me that everything was going to be okay. It's like you knew me better than I knew my own self. You were the mirror I looked into and found the truths about myself. You were the one who gave me the harsh truths in the gentlest of ways.

Over and over you would watch me make the same mistakes, and still you never left my side. Every single time, you would have to shake me while screaming at me my worth. It's like you had to walk around with a stash of tissues and your hand ready to slap me back into reality when needed. Sometimes I even saw you wipe a tear drop from your own cheek from feeling my pain. Those are the times that I will never forget; We couldn't be any closer then in that moment.

You are the only person who I get in a fight with and it can't ever last longer then fifteen minutes. My heart just can't hold in hate for you longer then that. I mean who else am I going to have crazy dance parties or rap battles with in the car. Or take midnight trips to buy out all of McDonald's cookies and point out every plane we see flying above us because of an insider we have with each other. You are my soulmate of a friend that can never be replaced.

You have been there when I was at my highest moment in life and the lowest. The only thing that changed was how tight you hugged me because with each time they got tighter and tighter. You hold a place in my heart because of how special our friendship is to me. Every moment spent together helped mold me into the person I am, even in our most craziest of times.

Saying thank you is not enough for all you have done for me. You are more than a friend to me, you are now who I consider family. You are my soul sister, my double mint twin, the peanut butter to my jelly, the Robin to my Batman, and the Ying to my Yang. You know how all of those quirky sayings go, well you are all of those in one. I can't think of anybody else who could make my heartbreaks bearable and my single lady phase the most enjoyable ever.

So this one is for you best friend. Cheers to many more years of unforgettable memories.

xoxo

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.
