To The Girls That Keep Me Grounded
Michael Kelley

To say that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without you is a serious understatement. You have introduced me to so many amazing things that exist in this world. My taste in music, movies, and clothes have improved since meeting you. My view of the world, in general, has changed. You’re each so unique, and I’ve become more positive, empathetic, and open-minded now that I’ve made efforts to understand the way your minds work.

It’s crazy the way this friendship operates. You’ve expressed time and time again that you are thankful for the strength I provide in your own lives, but I wouldn’t be wouldn’t have that strength if it weren’t for you. Your continued support and guidance through my highs and my lows have allowed me to grow into the person you need. I know that none of us really have this “life” thing all figured out yet, but you make fumbling to make sense of everything less terrifying.

I have an insane amount of trust in you. I know that no matter what, you will always be honest with me. You’re the best listeners and even better sources for advice. Especially during those times when I don’t want to hear the truth, but you know I need to. I can trust your judgment because I know that you always have my best interest in mind.

I know what it means to be a good person because I have you as living examples. Your kindness, selflessness, and unconditional love continue to motivate me to be the best person I can be and to chase my wildest dreams. We’re not just friends, we’re family.

Thank you for everything you are for me.

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.
