Letter To A Friend Who Deserves Better
Ella Mallory

Dear Friend,

I am writing you this letter today to make you aware that you are not alone in this. I watch you struggle daily with the knowledge that you are no better than the situation that you are in, but that is not true. I watch you cry over boys that don't understand how amazing of a person you are and are willing to overlook your generosity and beauty to lead you onto an emotional roller coaster that will leave you feeling like you will never be happy again. I watch as they overlook your incredible sense of humor and loyalty for the people you love. You are far from anyone who deserves this and I am here to tell you why.

You've heard me explain this numerous of times over text and in person, but I am hoping a letter will be the thing to make you understand. I will always support your decisions, but I wish you would realize you deserve better. You deserve better than the hours of tears and confusion that they often instill upon you, and the depression that is seeded deep within your soul. You deserve more than the numerous anxiety attacks that they gift you with in turn for their disloyalty and misunderstanding of the beautiful person you are.

I'm here to remind you that it is possible for you to be happy again and you deserve this more than anyone else. It's a choice and a realization that only you yourself can make, but I am here to help you through it. If you could take a spaceship to the future you would see yourself happily married to the person of your dreams, so happy in fact, that you are confused as to why you ever doubted yourself before. You won't understand why you didn't realize sooner that you are better than the way you are being treated currently. Your future self wishes that you would understand how amazing a person you are and that your beauty deserves so much more.

I wish I could make you understand and with a wave of my wand make all of your problems go away. One day you will realize your worth, but until them I am here to remind you. I love you.

Love,

A friend who cares.

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.
