When God Blesses You With A Best Friend
Geissy Bitencourt

Everyone goes through stages of their life where they think they have found their "best friend." But, one day that best friend leaves your life. That isn't the best friend I am talking about here. This is the best friend that is there for you through thick and thin, through the good times and the bad, and through all of those fights that most would have thrown in the towel and walked away from. This is the best friend that no matter how many times you push them away, they will always be by your side. That is when you know God truly has blessed you with your best friend for life.

When God blesses you with a best friend...

...you know you will never be alone.

There will never be a moment that you will feel alone, and even when you do they will make sure you understand that you are not. There will always be a shoulder to cry on, an ear that is ready to listen, and a mouth to tell you its going to be okay.

...it is never a dull moment when you are together.

They are the friend that you can literally sit in a room doing nothing together, and you still aren't bored together. Even in those moments there will always be some joke to be made or talk to have that will have you craving their attention for years to come.

...you find your better half.

They are your partner in crime that knows when to put you in your place. You constantly make bad decisions together, but at the same time you save each other for making even worse decisions alone. They are there to tell you when you are being crazy and when you are being the best version of yourself. They are there to help you through your darkness and to celebrate with you in the light.

...you have a bond that can never be broken.

They understand you like no one else can. They understand you even better than you understand yourself most of the time, and that's something you cannot teach each other. They are the ones that even in the darkest days know that the love you have for each other can always triumph anything else.

...you found your second family.

Friends are the family we get to chose, but once they are there its basically impossible to get rid of them. Their parents become yours and vice versa. You are integrated into each others lives as if they were meant to be there in the first place.

Not everyone is lucky enough to find friends like these, but if you do never let them go. Hold them close because they will be one of the best blessings you will ever receive in your lifetime.

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.
