A Letter To My Friends Back Home

I know the distance sucks, but you're still my A1 since day one.

A Letter To My Friends Back Home
Facebook.com

Being two and a half hours away isn’t easy. Neither is being used to seeing you so frequently and then, one day, only being able to see you a few times per year. Now, it has been almost four years that there has been a distance between us, but that distance doesn’t mean much.

OK, so we both know that I can be super sappy. So, let's see how the rest of this letter goes. (I make no promises!)

Every time I come home, I try to see as many people as I can. This can be stressful. I want to thank you for being so understanding of the times when I’ve been home and I haven’t been able to see you. Even if I only get to see you once per year, just know that I really cherish that time.

When things get rough up here, you’re always one of the first who I complain to. If there's any good news in my life, you know about that as well.

Do you know what I love? I love that we mainly communicate via Snapchat.

“I got my methods and student teaching placement!”

“Look how cute my cats are!”

See, I can still manage to be annoying from over 100 miles away. However, let's be for real, my snaps are a blessing and you can't deny that.

Seriously, though, I miss you. It's hard not having you in the same town.

All those times when we would just chill and lay around watching TV, those were my favorites. The best feeling is knowing that your best friend is down the street and only a phone call away.

Adult life sucks, but knowing that, no matter what happens in life, you'll be there is one of the best feelings in the world.

You've been my A1 since day one and I couldn't imagine life without you.

Now, let's fast forward 50 years so that we can be rolling around in our hot pink, motorized wheelchairs screaming Lil' Wayne at the top of our lungs.

One day, our lives will not be as complicated and we can go back to the days of high school when we didn't have to worry about working out our school and work schedules. Or, at least we can dream.

You will always be a part of my life. If you need anything, I'm only a two and a half hour drive away. I will do my best to be here for the biggest moments of your life, including your wedding, birthdays, graduations, etc. Nothing could keep me away.

The same goes for you as well, if you ever need a place to stay or somewhere to escape to for a few days, you are more than welcome to show up on my doorstep. I will always have room for you!

I hope that I get to see you soon and I will let you know when I am in town! Stay beautiful, you wonderful soul.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
