There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you.

An Open Letter To My Ex- Best Friend
Blood Sisters

Dear Ex- Best Friend,

We haven't talked in about five months... Five months of silence, five months of laughs without you, five months of not knowing what is going on. I can assure, loosing a best friend is worse than loosing a significant other. There is not a day that goes by where I don't think about what happened. Everyday I have that urge to text you, to tell you everything about my day. Everything that I'm stressing about. A year ago, I would have never thought we would not be talking. This time last year, we were getting our Halloween costumes together. You were Superman, I was Batman. I see irony in that. Superman and Batman didn't get along... just like us now. We drifted, drifted in opposite paths that seem to never meet again.

This isn't the first time we stopped talking. Our path originally drifted back in March. For the same reason we aren't talking now. We walked the same path for about two months. Then I blew up.

I am still shocked that our friendship is over. I know its my fault, but now I wish everything would go back to how it used to be. I miss the long car rides. I miss the late night road trips. I miss the shopping trips. I miss the fog chasing. I miss the Snapchat streaks. Everything about our relationship, I miss.

Like I said, this is liking a break up with a significant other. You basically were my other half. We did everything together, we were inseparable. Some days, I wish you would just show up at my house like you used to. Yelling: "get in the car, we are going on adventure!" Our car rides were the best. Blasting music, telling stories, getting everything off our chest. We were basically dating. Talking all the time about everything. There was no one else I wanted to be with.

I miss you. I really do. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for stopping our friendship. But it wasn't the same. We both changed. We were different people, and we still are. There were changes that neither of us could handle. I thought it would be better for the both of us if we just stopped our friendship. But now I am miserable everytime I think about what we used to be. I sound like I am talking about a break up, I basically am. If we could go back to the way things used to be, I would in a heart beat. But I know if we tried to be friends now, it wouldn't be the same. Life went on after we stopped talking. Things changed even more. We replaced each other, found new best friends. But nothing will ever replace that relationship we had. Nothing. Not one person. As much as we think someone can replace each other, it will never happen. We can try as hard as we want, but no one will have the experience and the memories that we share.

I hope that one day our paths will cross again, maybe we will walk on the same path again. It will be a long journey before then. We will walk across some broken roads. But if we can fix our relationship and come to terms with each other, our friendship could be as strong as it once was; maybe even stronger.

I am really sorry for what happened. Like I said, not a day goes by that I don't miss you, or think about you. I still love you. And I wanted to let you know I am ready. Ready to mend and create that friendship again. I have forgiven you, but I know you may never forgive me... I'm sorry, I really am. I miss you and want you back in my life. I want that sister bond back. I love you and always have, never stopped. I hope you see this, I hope we can fix our relationship. But until then... good luck, and best wishes.

I love you so much...

Sincerely,

Your Ex- Best Friend

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.
