To My Younger Sisters

Being the oldest can be hard, this is to my younger sisters.

We love em, sometimes. We don't love them so much other times. Our younger siblings are sometimes our best friends and sometimes the complete opposite and you hate each other's guts.

I have a weird relationship with each of my younger sisters. One I'm somewhat close to. She'll talk to me, heck she will even text me out of the blue (granted it's usually a picture of her hedgehog). The other barely acknowledges me when I'm home and like never texts me unless she's really needing help with something. That's just how it goes.

I'm the oldest. I'm the big sister who had the rules that now they only have to deal with somewhat like no tattoos before they're 18 but they can get away with stuff I couldn't. I had to drive them places against my will sometimes but hey that's life. Now I'm 20 and the next oldest is 16. Not gonna lie it kinda scared me when she got her license but it also made me feel like the 3 of us, in general, are growing up way too fast. I can only imagine how my mom feels.

I can't lie and say my little sisters are my best friends because quite frankly they aren't. I love them but my best friends are the adopted sisters I've come to claim. My sisters know they can come rave and rant to me and it would stay between us (unless I'm super concerned) but I do what I can for them even when I'm an hour and a half to two hours away.

I wish them luck on big tests like finals or driving tests. I give them a small push if they're feeling down to help boost them up. I get on their case if they're driving our mom nuts.

College has made me realize the relationship I have with my sisters. We still take goofy pictures when I am home but that's usually on breaks. I sometimes feel left out and that I'm missing some big things like my youngest sister starting her first day of high school, but she did text me and missing the moment my other sister came home with her driver's license. Those are biggish moments in my family and I missed those but there are other things I'll hopefully see, like high school graduations for sure. I love my sisters even though I want to strangle them on occasion but that's just how it goes.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
