Dear Best Friend, I Know Times Are Hard

To be honest, we’re both a mess

Dear Best Friend, I Know Times Are Hard
H&L Productions

Seeing you without your smiling face is hard on me. I know when you're falling and it kills me inside. You try and hide your pain but you’re not hard to read. You’re my best friend and it hurts me when you won’t let me in. I know you like to be independant but, trust me, you can’t do this alone.

I want you to know that I'm always here for you. Even when you don't think I'm listening, I always am. I want what's best for you and although I'm not always perfect, I know what to say in your distress. I want you to be happy again. The world is harsh and it hits us all pretty hard everyday but I want you to know that you've always got a best friend by your side no matter what. (She's a pretty great one too if I do say so myself)

I've always hated when you tried to be so strong and keep it all to yourself and I'm kind of a hypocrite because I attempt to do the same. To be honest, we’re both a mess. I want you to know that it’s okay to feel. It’s okay to reach out and say you need help. It’s okay to be a mess.

I know you want to be strong but you’ve already proved yourself to be strong. No one likes to show their tears but it is not a sign of weakness. Life can hit us all pretty hard but it’s okay to fall sometimes. I’m not going to be basic and say "you must fall before you can fly.” No, I want you to know that when you fall, I will be there to pick up the pieces. If you don’t think you can do it anymore, then I will sit with you in the darkness. One day this pain will be invisible and that smile will no longer be fake, one day you will let out a smile and I will see that spark in your eyes. One day things will turn around.

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.
