Yes, Breakups Suck, But Best Friend Breakups Hurt SO More
Mitch Paige

Have you ever had a group of friends that you look at and you think, they're going to make it, they are going to be the ones who are bridesmaids in each other's weddings and the crazy aunties to each-others kids.

Well, that was my friend group…

Yes, breakups with a significant other suck, but have you ever gone through a breakup with your best friends? If so, then you know that shit hurts more than losing an s/o, because you are losing the person or the people that some of your favorite memories are with. I know people grow up and schedules change, life gets busy. I know this, but this doesn't feel like growing apart. It feels as painful as a breakup.

Some don't get a text back and some won't talk to you, period… It hurts.

I recently found myself in the car driving on the highway and breaking down in hysterics crying because "True Friend" by Hannah Montana started playing and that is one song we would belt out to no end.

(Yes, we would jam out to Hannah Montana because she was the idol of our childhood - you're not cool if you don't think her music is a bop.)

It hit me with that, I feel as if I have actually lost my best friends. No longer do I have the girls I could call or go down the hall and go for a midnight drive to get milkshakes with, no longer do I have the girls who would go on last-minute adventures with… But what hurts the most is when you want to tell them the news about your promotion or the new and exciting project you got asked to work on, or when it's just been a hell of a day and you just want to go out and get drinks with your girls and you can't because you know you won't get a response in the group chat…

You try your hardest not to give up but there is only so much you can do without giving up. You can reach out and check in with them as much as you want, but after a while, there comes a point where you just need to give up… It hurts.

All I can say is that, no matter what, I will love you ladies like sisters always. I hope you all get everything you ever wanted in life and even though we don't talk anymore I hope you all know I will always be here for 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.
