A letter to my future self

I wish I could hear your answers now

A letter to my future self

Dear me,

I hope not eating dessert every night has paid off as well as all the hours I have spent in the gym and studying has as well. I hope you are able to come home and relax with a glass of wine after work every so often. Do you wish there are things I shouldn’t have done? Better yet do you wish there are things that I should have done? Are you happy? Do you like your job? I know, I know, it has its downsides but for the majority do you wake up wanting to go or are you in it for the paycheck? Have you travelled a lot? How many cool things have you seen? I hope you have had a lot of moments that make you laugh. Better yet, I hope you have countless stories of amazing times you have had with friends. Speaking of friends, who are they? Are they the same one’s that you have right now? Have you lost a few a long the way? Who are the new people you find very important that I haven’t met yet? How many of your friends have gotten married? Have you gotten married? Are you in love? If so, congrats! If not you still have time and you’ll find whoever the lucky duck is. Are you still a picky eater? Have you done something completely crazy? Have you finally gone skydiving? Do you still go to bed late and hate waking up early? Has your favorite color changed? I hope you have had so many midnight heart to heart moments with your friends. Have you accomplished all the things I wished that you had? What’s still on the list? What new goals have you set? I hope very little sadness has crossed your path. I’m sure some has and I’m sorry for that but remember that it is only making you appreciate the amazing things that have occurred in your life already and are still to come. I hope you remember that it is only making you a stronger better person. I hope don’t stop singing, dancing, laughing, and loving ever. By now you probably find this note to be cheesy and ridiculous but I hope it has made you think and look back over your life and still look toward the future. I hope you stop worrying so much about life and be better at living in the moment and remember that you are loved.

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.
