A Letter To My Best Friend

On our second year of college

A Letter To My Best Friend
Nadia Palma

College wont be easy for the either of us and I know that life itself is going to test us. I just want you to know that no matter where we choose to go in our lives, I'll always be by your side. This letter comes from the bottom of my heart and I just want to remind you how much I appreciate you and all your support. As we get closer and closer to achieving one of our biggest dreams together, I want you to know now that our friendship is unbreakable and that I value you so much as a person. Without you, I don't know how my life would've turned out. While this letter alone isn't enough to explain my adoration and appreciation for you, this is just a taste.

Dear Best Friend,

I can't forget those moments we laid across my living room floor talking about our lives, the majority of the things you say still linger in my mind. Remember when I fell out of love and didn't know how to let go? You were there to correct me throughout all my wrongdoings and you still had enough love in you to hold me close when I needed it the most. I don't know where life will take us, but I do know we've made it past difficult patches and rainy days. I want you to know that you're special to me. It's not about how easily you make me laugh or how quickly you make me smile. It's the way you listen to all I have to say without judgment. Trust me, I know I can be annoying at times and I like to believe the world is out to get me at times. But when was the last time you told me I needed to change? Never.

As we get older, there is no doubt we will change. The only things that don't change are memories and what we've said. The other day, I was watching a movie called "Remember Me" and a quote said stuck to me, "Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we've touched". Do you believe you can make an impact on someone's life, that you leave an aura behind even after you're long gone? I do. I used to think the term soul mate meant finding someone to share your life with - preferably your partner. That was until you came into my life. I mean who is going sit down with me and binge watch Netflix while eating ice cream? Who's going to sit next to me and actually listen to all my thoughts? Now I think a soul mate is someone you love deeply and share an unbreakable bond with, whether it be your best friend or partner. Maybe you're best friend and soul mate all in one. How lucky can I get?

In our second year of college, I just want you to know that no matter what is thrown at us, we can get through it together like we always do. I mean we survived high school anatomy together! We can definitely handle college. Thank you for always believing in me and supporting my goals, even when I doubted myself. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us both, and I can't wait to see the day we're both holding our diplomas...We're one step closer to our dreams. I believe in you and all your abilities. I know we can do this.

Sincerely,

Your best friend

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.
