A Letter To A Friend Turned Acquaintance

Hello Stranger...

A Letter To A Friend Turned Acquaintance
Huffington Post

Dear Friend,

Or shall I call you an acquaintance? I don't know how this happened really. We don't talk anymore (not to quote the song). In today's society it doesn't take much to "keep in touch". If you want to count seeing social media updates then I think it's pretty easy to keep in touch. That bothers me though. I really love talking and actively participating in each other's lives. I have no hard feelings. I just miss you!

Well, I'll be honest. I still consider you a friend but I don't really know what's going on in your life. I could reach out. I really could. I'll be honest though...I'm not sure that you would really care. I realize that is a judgement call I am making on my own. Nonetheless I miss you! I miss talking to you every day. I also do not know if I would know the best way to contact you either. I'm left guessing at what you are up to. I'd like to update you on my life since I am not sure that you even know what I am doing with mine. I suppose we went our separate ways because school doesn't keep us together. Graduation also happened so that doesn't help. I really hate the saying "went our separate ways" because besides physically, I am pretty sure we still have things in common and I could talk to you for hours on end. It wouldn't even be awkward and as we all know, I am full of awkwardness. But anyway...

I can't help but think about the good times. They were far and few between because we didn't see each other all that much, but dang, I miss you! Distance separated us like distance does best! I only call you an acquaintance because I feel like I don't know you anymore, which is silly since you haven't changed. You haven't gone off the deep end or done a 180. I know if we had a conversation right now we could pick up where we left off, but that doesn't mean you don't feel like a stranger to me.

Well, just know I'm thinking about you. If you ever want to catch up, that's cool. I'm also praying for you...constantly. Lord knows we all need it. And I often look back on the memories we made and they are some of the best. SO thank you for those! Hope all is well!

Love,

Your Friend/ Acquaintance

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.
