Communication Is Key In Any Relationship
Austin Bennett

Communicating is a vital part of any relationship. Whether it be a professional relationship for work, a friendship, or a romantic one, communication with one another is incredibly important. Without it, the relationship would fail. The line of communication is a two-way road, both people need to talk as well as sit back and listen. The listening part is what a lot of people struggle with.

You need to set aside your pride and have a conversation. No one likes to talk about really serious stuff, especially when it's addressing something personal like the way you drive or how you treat others. But these conversations are critical to building a strong and solid relationship.

Far too often do we sit back with our mouths closed. If something is wrong, speak up about it. Problems don't just go away; they simply just get pushed to the side and fester until one small little thing triggers it all. To avoid fights, calmly talk things out.

Opinions are okay to have, but to give an opinion requires you to be receptive of another's. I personally need to practice what I preach at times and be more open to what's out there. Everyone has their opinions and opinions need to be shared. They open your eyes, give you different ways of thinking, and can even alter your life.

The point is, every single human interaction requires good communication. Having an open and honest relationship could be the very thing that keeps it together. With open communication, you build trust and comfortability. Speak your mind, but do so in a calm and mature manner.

Now go out and start talking. You'll be surprised how many things can be solved once we just start talking about them.

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.
