An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Because you've never left my side.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Kelsey Roschen

This may sound cheesy, but thank you for just being there. Even if we say it all the time or not at all, I wanted to say thank you for being my best friend and for never leaving my side. It takes a special person to not get annoyed or frustrated by my little ticks, but you;re still here.

Thank you for showing me that life doesn't always have to be planned out. That when I want things to go my way and I have everything planed out, that it's OK for something to go wrong. You let me know not to stress over the little things or the things I can't control.

Thank you for showing me that food can also be my best friend. No matter what we could be doing, if food is brought up, that's all we can think about from that moment on. You never judge me on what or how much I eat, but indulge just as much as me.

Thank you for showing me how to be brave. You have showed more times than not how to be someone who speaks their mind. Someone who isn't afraid to do the things they want or say the things they need to say. You showed me to stand up for myself, but even more importantly, that you would stand up for me when I couldn't.

Thank you for showing me that it's OK to have feelings. Whether the feelings are outrageous or understandable, you showed me that it's important to share them. You encouraged me to show how I felt and open myself up to being vulnerable. Even if my feelings were outrageous, you told me straight up.

Thank you for opening up your house to me. Your family brought me in as their own and I felt more part of the family than just a friend. Even if you aren't home, I'm comfortable enough to hang out there.

Thank you for sharing your life with me. We've spent hours and hours together, but nothing seems to compare to that time. Every time we're together, there never seems to be enough time to talk about all the latest gossip or recent news. Every minute that we've spent together has changed us in certain ways and that's something that we'll take with us forever.

Thank you for showing me that life is better with someone to share it with. Even if you're going for a late night food run, it's always better to have someone with you. Even if you're just spending a little time together, it'll always be more fun with you.

Thank you for being more than a best friend to me, but more like a sister. It's no wonder people get us confused or think were related. Even if we do argue like sisters sometimes and people think we're actually upset with each other, there couldn't be a better choice to be my best 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.
