21 Things I Need To Tell My Older Brother On His 21st Birthday

Love you, bro.

One person in my life who is a constant is my older brother, Davis. Through thick and thin, he's got my back (though he is kind of required to be because he's my family). With his 21st birthday coming up this week, here are 21 things I want my older brother to know on his special day.

1. Even if I don't call you very often, I think about you a lot. 

I just get kind of forgetful and forget that my phone works.

2. Your sense of humor always makes me smile.

As much as I hate puns, you are a pun master.

3. I can always come to you for an honest opinion.

Even if you tell me my hair makes me look like a cartoon character, I at least know that you're honest.

4. You're always awake for a 3 a.m. conversation.

You might be pissed that I woke you up, but you will definitely talk to me. At least until you fall asleep.

5. You have great taste in music.

Metallica, Billy Joel, and classical — your music choices say it all.

6. You may be a jerk sometimes, but you have a kind heart.

Even if you're kind of rude, you have good intentions. Most of the time.

7. When you send me memes or .GIFs, it's the best part of my day.

Never stop sending me memes and gifs. Ever.

8. You're incredibly talented at everything you do. 

Whether you're playing guitar or making guitars, your talent shines through.

9. You're the life of the party. 

The party literally doesn't start until you walk in. Mostly because you're hosting.

10. Even if we're having two different conversations at the same time, I'm always listening to you.

It's a habit we'll never break when we're talking, but I'm always listening to you.

11. You're a better driver then me. 

There. I said it. You're welcome.

12. You like some quirky things, but your quirks are what make you you. 

Dungeons and Dragons, old movies, and vintage cars are what make up your personality.

13. You're a whole lot smarter than you think you are.

Just saying.

14. You should never change for anyone. 

You're great the way you are.

15. You keep our family from being too serious.

If we didn't have you, I think Mom and I would fight way more.

16. Your cooking skills are better than my own. 

Just another thing that you're better at then me (I'm also expecting bacon-wrapped BBQ duck when I come home).

17. You're going to be successful in whatever you do. 

I have a lot of faith in you, older brother. Don't let me down.

18. I'll always give you crap for your Christmas gifts. 

Kazoos as Christmas gifts for the whole family probably wasn't the best idea.

19. You're one of my favorite people.

You know I only like so many people, so you should be excited to be one of them.

20. You're the best older brother I could have ever asked for. 

I may only have one of you (biologically), but I couldn't have asked for a better one.

21. I love you. 

Whether we're one door down or five states away, I'll always love you older brother. Have a great birthday!

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
