A Thank You Letter To My Best Friend Since Middle School
Jessie Reynolds

Dear Best Friend,

Hey! I love you so much. I also have no clue where to even begin! First of all, can you believe it has been seven years since we became best friends?! It feels like yesterday when we were in 8th grade science class goofing off because we hated science! Thanks for always being there for me through literally everything... and by everything I mean our super weird awkward phases; from wearing dark eyeliner on our eyes, converses that we doodled all over and our skater phase to the bad haircuts (sorry about that). So many awkward double dates (sorry about that too), and obsessing over the Jonas Brothers.... and Flight of the Concords.... and The Mighty Boosh. Thank you so much for loving stupid comedy with me; "Hot Rod," "SNL," "Accepted" and "Talladega Nights" are just some of our favorites. Thank you for dancing to music in the car with me, I wouldn't want to jam to Kanye with anyone else. I am so thankful that we have the same sense of humor. Thank you for your sarcasm, because no one gets your sarcasm like I do and vice versa.

Thank you for always being honest with me even when I didn't want to hear it. I can always count on you to give me your honest opinion, and it's exactly what I need. Thank you for going literally anywhere with me. From church youth group to hardcore rock shows, you're always there, no matter what the circumstance. Thank you for always keeping me grounded and down to earth. When my head is up in space, you are always there to show me the right path and to help me with any situation. Thank you for being hilarious; I literally keep a smile on my face the whole time I am with you. Thank you for laughing with me and at me; I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thank you for showing me the beauty in everything. You inspire me with your dreams and the way you look at the world. We have always been complete opposites, but I'm realizing we are more and more alike as time goes on. Thank you for the random FaceTime calls, sharing mall Chinese food with me and for being my soulmate. Thank you for letting me vent when something is on my mind and for agreeing with me no matter how dumb I make something sound.

Thank you for having a family that welcomes me with a warm hug and a smile no matter how long it has been since I have seen them.

Thank you for your support and for always being my best friend. Going off to college and being so far away from each other couldn't phase us. This is what a true and honest friendship looks like, and I am so thankful to be a part of one. I'm thankful to be practically married. I love you, man.

Love,

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.
