Everyone Needs a 'Person'

Going beyond what it means to be a best friend.

Everyone Needs a 'Person'
AllsWalls

In the TV show 'Grey's Anatomy,' there is a theme that follows around the main character, Meredith Grey. She is constantly talking about her "person," who is her best friend/partner in crime: Cristina Yang. Meredith is always shown going to Cristina for everything, even personal things; before her husband. The same went for Cristina, she always went to Meredith because that was their relationship.

Why am I telling you about this? Because I believe everyone has a "person," and if you don't then I highly suggest getting one. They are always someone who is always on your side, who can always be your voice of reason and who can even encourage you to do the things that you're maybe a little hesitant about doing. They are always the one who is there to pick you up whenever you're down. They are the bridge between your sanity and insanity. They are people who are always there for you no matter what it is that you are going through. They have no sleep schedule, because if you need them, they will be right at your door at 4 in the morning with coffee, an open ear, and a hug.

Having someone always in your corner is what gives you the stability to do what your heart desires. If you know that once you go out and take a risk, that someone will be there cheering you on, making you more confident. Your "person" is essentially your personal hype man (or woman). They will cheer you on when you're succeeding, and will definitely cheer you up when you fail. They don't care how many times you come crying to them, or begging for their help, or their assistance with anything. They don't care about anything other than making sure that you're okay. They are never judging, but always loving.

A "person" can be anyone that you find fit to be. You may not even know that you actually already have a person. Do you ever have anything happen, happy or sad, and you immediately have to tell someone about it? Can you always count on this person to never tell another soul what it is that you've talked about? Is there anyone, that as soon as you get into a pickle, that you think of to help you out? If there is, then more often than not, that person is your "person." They don't have to be a boyfriend/girlfriend, a wife/husband. They can simply be a friend, not even a best friend, just a friend that you can always rely on.

So please, find yourself a person. Get you someone in your life that no matter what, you can always turn to in times of turmoil or happiness. The someone that can always exchange conversations and in the end make each other happy, and hype each other up. You get on each others' nerves, but love each other unconditionally. A person is someone that you may already have, you just haven't noticed it yet.

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.

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.
