A little vote of confidence but also a little more of a warning.

A Letter To The People Who Date My Friends
Madeline Grace Mullins

To the person dating my friend,

First of all you should know that I’m not necessarily rooting for you but mainly my friend’s happiness and as long as you can continue to give them that then we shouldn’t have any problems :)

Okay, so my friends are some of the greatest people in the world. They are intelligent, passionate, clever, funny and understanding. These are the people that I have chosen to do life with so understand me when I say that I would do anything for any one of them. They are people that allow me to be messy and clueless without ever judging me. They take time to listen to me and help through my problems big or small. They love me no matter what even when I don’t deserve it. They know when to tell me that they love me and everything will be okay, but also when to tell me to straighten up and move forward. Having said all this I understand why you decided you wanted to be with them-- any person would.

But listen, I’m not trying to give you a “hurt them and I’ll kill you” speech (even though i most definitely will) I’m just telling you now that you have someone who is truly amazing in more ways than either of us could count. You have someone in your life who will never stop being there for you and will do anything to make you happy even if it means sacrificing themselves sometimes. They would go to the ends of the earth and back for you-- trust me I know. Some of my friends have been hurt bad by people like you. “People like you” meaning people that saw how lovely and wonderful they were and said “I’ll give you the world” and then they never did. Or maybe they really honestly tried but just couldn’t do it. And if that’s you-- if you think that something will keep you from giving them every last thing they deserve then realize that now. Because I can’t even begin to tell you how much they are worth.

But if you’re reading this and know it and feel it that you are going to love them to the best of your ability then I’m glad that my friend has found you. Do your best. Listen to them, kiss them often, and reassure them every chance you get. You have a gem. You’re gonna a mess up and so is my friend but I hope more than anything that you and I want the same thing… for them to be happy.

And if so then we should get along just fine.

PS don’t misunderstand my gentleness. If you hurt my friend or cause them unnecessary pain I will personally kill you. Think of every tear you make them shed as a promise from me to you that I will ruin you :) I have tabs on everybody so you believe you me that before you ever came into my friend's life I was so far into stalking you I know your grandmother’s birthday,everything about your last three exes, and who coached you in middle school. Don’t. Test. 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.
