She's non-judgemental.

I can say how I feel without the fear of judgment or backlash. She does her best to understand what I am going through and always offers kind advice.

She laughs at my jokes.

It's nice to have at least one person in the world that truly thinks you're funny. I enjoy knowing that no matter how terrible they are, someone will always laugh at my jokes.

She's passionate.

The amount of passion that she shows for the issues she cares about inspires me to care deeply about the issues that I care about.

She makes me want to be a better person.

My best friend challenges me to see the world in a better light. She inspires me to care more for those around me and do more to help them.

She cracks me up.

Whenever I'm feeling sad, or I need some time to deal with the stresses of my day, she always has a funny story or joke that will cheer me up.

She shows unconditional love and support.

No matter what is going on in our lives, she will drop everything to tell me some kind words. She is constantly showing support for my dreams and encouraging me in my endeavors.

She's generous.

She buys me snacks when we spend time together and sometimes even surprises me with candy.

She's empathetic.

She's always full of kind and encouraging words, and she does her best to understand what I'm going through so that she can be as supportive as possible.

She's dedicated.

She's dedicated to her job, her education, and her friends and loved ones. She puts so much time and effort into the important things and she is going to go very far in life.

She puts others first.

She is always willing to stay late or work an extra shift at her job, drive across town to bring me food, or buy incredible gifts for people. She's genuinely one of the most selfless people I know, and that inspires me to be more selfless myself.

Everytime I spend time with my best friend, I am reminded of how lucky I am to have someone in my love that cares about me so much. I am lucky to have someone that inspires me, challenges me, and listens to me.

Take a little time out of your day to tell your best friend why you love them, and appreciate how lucky you are to have that type of support in your life.

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.

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.
