An Open Letter To My 'Best Friend'

When depression is your worst enemy and your best friend.

An Open Letter To My 'Best Friend'
Grace Kelly

I hate you so much, I really do. Your goal is to take away my happiness and for a while you were winning. You took away my smile, my laugh and my big bright blue eyes. You took away my ability to yell extra loud at a cheer game and even crack a smile to all my friends in the crowd. You made my room dark and my heart shatter, have you ever felt the physical pain in your chest? You made my love cave in and my door lock.

There is something you can't take away though. You will never take away sunrises and a lilac sky. I think that is why I love the sun so much, you can never take it away, it will still shine even when I can't. You can't take away baths and fresh sheets and phone calls from my mom. You will never stop my friends from laying with me when you make the world feel heavy, you can't take their love for me away. Even in that dark room you can't take away their light, you can't take away my sun.

I spent so much time trying to work around your schedule, when in reality you needed to work around mine. You are a really bad friend and only care about yourself, you do not care about what I have to do in a day. You do not care that I need to leave my room, you drag me into things I do not want to do and I am officially done. I need to learn how to live with you rather than pushing you away, because that is not working. Stop trying to steal my sunshine on a warm spring day. Do you not realize that a flower can still bloom even after winter passes?

You may have won a battle, but I am winning the war.

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.
