Letter Ten: Past, Present & Future Friends
pintrest

Welcome to the third to last letter, you made it this far and I am super proud for you. You kept up with my secrets and now its time for the tenth one.

My friends.

If you were a friend of mine in the past, I left you there for a good reason.

If you are my friend now, it's because I hold you close to my heart.

If you are my friend in the future, that means you made it.

Now I say I am the most "laid-back" friend, but in all honesty that means I'll forget to text you back, I only send memes and I have a dry sense of humor. I use the excuse "sorry I was asleep/busy" too much when I open my messages and realize I hadn't replied in hours, or days. I'll ignore your messages when I'm on Tumblr looking through sad memes, or when I'm watching Netflix, but that's just who I am. I am the people-pleasing goddess of my friendships, when we are out and I have money, you want food I got you. I never expect anything in return, not because I am the mom friend because I let people walk all over me and that's my real downfall. I don't want people to be upset with me, so if they need something, and I can give a little away, I always offer first. I guess that makes me a bit upset when I bend over backwards for people who won't do the same for me. I'm the friend to set the most annoying ringtone to wake me up from a dead sleep to talk to you, or text you, but I won't do that to you because I believe people need space and privacy. I'm always there for peoples 3 am breakdowns, when their brains can't form words and you are a mumbling, sobbing mess. But when I need someone all my friends are "busy."

So guys this is it. I'm no longer going to be "that friend", find someone else to bug at 3am.

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.
