To The Friend That Has Drifted Away

We all have a few people in our lives that we have just drifted apart from.

Dear Old Friend,

I used to think that you would be my friend forever. I used to know everything that went on in your life from the guys you would talk to, to the adventures you had, to the classes you were taking. Now, however, it is the complete opposite because I now know nothing, that is going on in your life, the guys you talk to, the adventures you have, and the classes you are taking. Are you still friends with the people we used to know? No one even remembers our friendship; I do not even know if you do.

We completely drifted. We became completely different people. I do not have the same interests that we used to have and I doubt that you remember what we used to listen to. I know I had exaggerated how much I used to agree with you and now I think that you did too.

It seems like our friendship was like a lifetime ago but I remember some of the laughs we shared as if it was half an hour ago. The exact words are not clear but what it was about and the ideas and intent between us was. W used to hang out for six hours just because. Everything we did, we were so excited about it. We didn’t think of the damage or the repercussions of our ideas, we just fantasized them. We built a pillow forts because we had the time to. We had a great time. Not a care in the world. I am not friends with you anymore because we made different choices but I am left with nothing but awesome memories. The little choices we made that made us close. I do not regret any of them.

Thanks for the smiles that we shared secretly in class. Thanks for secrets you entrusted me with. Thanks for being my best friend, even if it didn't last forever. And most importantly, thanks for being a part in shaping who I am today.

To the many friends that I just lost touch with: our friendship didn't end badly, it just didn't last forever. Maybe one day we will get back in touch and if we do, I will be so happy and so welcome to it!

With tons of love,

Your Old 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.
