I Met Some Of My Closest Friends Through Twitter

If you had told me five years ago that my closest friends came from Twitter I probably would have called you crazy, now that I've lived it I can tell you that I would have wished for nothing less.

Twitter

Five years ago on Twitter.com a friend of mine was tweeting back and forth between some girl I had never met before. Being the nosy human I am I jumped into the conversation and then went and stalked the girl's page. Rebecca* and I had very similar interests and she only lived 30 minutes away from me.

Since that day we became twitter friends or "mutuals" and we frequently chatted back and forth discussing bands and concerts we had been too. I loved her personality and was hoping that one day we would finally be able to hang out in real life instead of just talking through social media.

For a few years, Rebecca and I attended the same shows yet somehow never met, every time she was in my area I somehow seemed to miss her. We always said we needed to meet up but the time was never perfect. Flash forward to summer 2019, this was the summer of concerts and I knew that someway somehow my dear Twitter friend and I were going to meet.

A couple of weeks before the first show she messaged me and said that her friends got an Airbnb for the concert and they had an extra bed for me to stay in, finally I was going to meet my gal pal. So for the weeks up until the concert I briefly got to know the other girls I was going to be staying with.

The day finally came and we decided to meet at Cracker Barrel. So the first time I met Rebecca and Anna* was in the bathroom at Cracker Barrel. We had a fun weekend in Atlanta, we visited the aquarium, picked up our friend from the airport, went to a park and rocked out to our favorite bands. It was one of the best weekends of my life.

After that weekend I continued to stay in contact, I have gone to several more concerts with these gals as well. I have grown so close to them and we always have so much fun together, they are supporting and beautiful and such wonderful people. Because of them, I have met other wonderful people at concerts and I now have a group of people no matter what concert I go to.

Twitter is a social media website full of jokes and celebrities making political statements, but for me, it is where I met a group of girls so close to me that I would die for them.

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.

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.
