A Letter To The Boys Who've Broken My Friends' Hearts

"The biggest coward is a man who awakens a woman's love with no intention of loving her."

First of all, I'd like to personally give each of you an award for taking each of my best friends and making them believe they aren't good enough for boys like you all, as well as convincing me to believe each of you were worth their time.

Let's back track for a second. I have to admit, it was great to see each of my friends' faces light up each time they'd read your conversations out loud to me for approval of what to say next. All of you charmed your sweet way into their hearts and placed them on cloud nine, which of course made me float up there with them. When someone you care about is happy, it makes it impossible not to be affected by their good mood.

But none of you were there to answer the many insecure questions they were left with when you decided to walk away.

"Why wasn't I good enough?"

"Am I not pretty enough?"

"Do I need to lose weight?"

"Did I try too hard or care too much?"

"Was there someone else?"

Every time, I'm the one picking them up off the floor when the margaritas they drank to feel better got the best of them. I'm the one having to reassure each of them that they are absolutely worthy of love. If I could collect all the tears they've shed over silly boys like all of you, I could absolutely end droughts.

Unfortunately, I cannot make myself hate any of you. How could I hate someone who once made some of my best friends feel like the luckiest girls in the world? So, I simply dislike all of you. A lot. And not only did each of you break their hearts but you each left me feeling disappointed, hurt, dumb, and an awful friend for rooting for you guys. Because of course I was rooting for you to be the one to prove to them not all guys are the same.

In the future, to save another best friend many tear stained pillows and broken record talks, realize that chasing a girl with no intentions of catching her or vice versa, is cowardly. I, of all people, understand, changing your minds and realizing there just may not be feelings there, is human, but leading them on to believe they have a chance, making them trust you, and allowing them to fall for you just to rip the rug out from underneath them is cruel. Maybe next time, be gentle with a girl's feelings and let them know your intentions up front.

All in all, I hope all of you realize what you've left behind. Or rather, I should thank you for not wasting any more of my wonderful friends' time. Thank you all for showing each and every one of them what they deserve and for giving them a chance to realize how wonderful they all are. You boys will not be missed.

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.
