I just don't tell you this enough

A letter to my best friends saying everything I know I should say.

I just don't tell you this enough
Allison Massey

So I'm gonna start off by saying, I'm not a perfect friend. I realize many of you may be shocked by this but I'm not. I can be rude, crass, way too honest, and just down right mean; but I can also be supportive, passionate, and loving. So here's a glimpse to that side of me. Here are some things I really don't tell ya'll enough:

I love you

I do, I really do. I am ungrateful at times because you do so much for me that I just expect it but I do love you more than anything in this world.

Thank you

You guys are everything to me. You help me when I fall down, you pick up all the pieces even when you knew it would happen. So thank you, from the deepest parts of me for everything that you do.

You are amazing

Some of my friends know and believe this about themselves, but for those of you who don't here you go. I can't tell you enough just how amazing you are. You are so much more than what you see in yourself. You're not just someone there to pick up the pieces, you are wonderfully created to be the amazing person that you are. You're incredibly talented in several ways, some of you are incredible singers, some of you have a passion to help others, and some of you are just the best type of friend there is. Please always remember that you are more incredible than what you believe about yourself and that I think you're incredible.

I know I'm annoying

I do realize that I can be a bit... demanding. I just try to push each of you to be the absolute best you can be. If I take the time to be your friend and put the effort in to talk to you I realize that at some point I'm going to annoy you. I'm fully aware of that, but thanks for sticking around anyway.

I see potential in you

As many of you know, I don't really like spending time around people because they always disappoint. So if I am friends with you I believe that you have the potential to do amazing things and I fully intend to push you every step of the way there.


So to my friends, I know I should say all of these things more often, but I don't and I suck for here. Read this and remember it all the time even if I'm not being the greatest friend in that moment.

Love always,

The friend who doesn't deserve you.

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.
