We had known each other our whole lives through the love we shared for the same sport, playing at rival schools, but we never truly knew each other until the day we met. When we first met we were both in a rough spot. Me a junior and you a senior at a college neither of us were too fond of being at, both trying to find ourselves. I was NOT happy with were I was and wanted a change, but you... you were so carefree and happy with life, not caring about your situation. When they say opposites attract, they aren't over exaggerating because it happened. Our personalities clicked, and we instantly became best friends. We were inseparable, connected at the hip. Whether we were just hanging out or having a night out on the town, we had a blast together no matter what was on the agenda. We were the definition of best friends. We became so happy and were so wrapped up in having fun that neither of us worried too much anymore about the situation we were in. But that would soon change.

We began to drift apart. The fall turned to spring, and things began to change. I met a guy who would soon be the love of my life, and my time with you began to be less and less. At first we still had fun, but I soon began to realize I wanted more out of life. I wasn't accomplishing anything with school, the softball was a waste of my time, and the whole thing became a joke. I was going nowhere fast, and I knew it was time for a change. I wanted to experience more of life, have a job, finish school, get engaged, etc. You, on the other hand, were definitely not ready for any of that. You wanted to take on the world, travel, be rich, party, and just plain ole have fun with life. That's were we began to go our separate ways.

Once spring turned to summer, things really changed. I changed schools, got a job, and began to take life more seriously. We tried to hang out, but after a while it got too hard. We would make plans at the beginning of the week, but by the weekend, I would cancel saying I was too tired but that was only partially true. I was tired, but it was more about the fact I just didn't want to go out on the town. I was no longer a party girl. I had a good job and an amazing boyfriend, and I was so happy with the way life was going. I wanted to hang out with you, sleep over, watch movies, sit and giggle through the night, but I just didn't want to go out anymore. That's were the trouble was. After a few weeks, our friendship just stopped, and we haven't spoken since. You thought I was choosing my boyfriend over you, and maybe I was, but I choose to believe that we just wanted different things. I didn't want our friendship to end. I miss our long talks full of gossip and laughter. I miss having you to talk to about things I couldn't talk to anyone else about. I just miss YOU. I am sorry we grew apart. I hope everything is going well, and hopefully one day our paths will cross again.

Love,

Your Long Lost Friend

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.
