An Open Letter To My Best Friends
Lauren Basha

It’s so fun having a best friend like you and I think of myself as the luckiest girl in the world because I have you as one of my biggest supporters no matter what.

First off, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for putting up with me, thank you for laughing with me, thank you for always putting a smile on my face, thank you for telling me how it is and always being straight up with me. Thank you for laughing at my jokes even when we both know they’re not funny. Thank you for helping me get through my struggles. Thanks for making me study. Thank you for making me who I am, you are the best.

I appreciate you more than you will ever know and I honestly don’t know what I would do if you weren’t in my life. You have helped me with so much, especially in the past few months. You have seen me at my best and seen me at my worst. Thank you for all the advice, memories and for sticking around even when I’m a mess.

I want you to know that you can come to me for anything and everything. Whether it’s 2am and you’ve got a lot on your mind or at three in the afternoon and you need to tell someone about the cute dog you just saw; I’m here. I want to hear about your life, I want you to share your stories with me. I want to be apart and I want to have each other to make fun of the jerks we encounter together.

When I think about you and all the memories we have made all I can do is smile because of how blessed I am to have you do life with me. Our spontaneous adventures, long phone calls, dinner dates, movie nights and nights that turn into mornings make me so happy to look back on.

You are an amazing person and I hope you know that. You inspire me to be a better person and teach me so much about life. I hope you know your self-worth and if you don’t or if you ever question it, I’m always here for a confidence booster.

Embrace your individuality and independence. You are an incredible human and you deserve the world. I have loved watching you do life and I can’t wait to continue to see the amazing things that happen to you and help you through the hard times.

Thank you for being my person, my rock and my best friend.

I love you to the moon and back.

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.
