To My Boots, For The Places They've Taken Me

"Good shoes take you good places."

To My Boots, For The Places They've Taken Me
Adriana Gil

Just because it starts to get cold outside, does not mean the adventures stop. My boots understand that. They are there for me in every fall and winter adventure I can go on. Sometimes they make an appearance in the spring, but that’s only for special moments. My boots allow to enjoy nature and experience more. They protect my feet and give me the grip to go longer.

I know they are just boots, but would I have gone as far as I have without them? Would I have been able to travel and see so much if I didn't have my boots covering the soles of my feet? Providing me with support as I hike up trails and climb rocks? They are what keep me going in rough paths and cold breezes. They are my number one fans as I take on the world. They have yet to let me down.

So many places we have been to and so many places we have yet to go to. The paths we have learned, the miles we have walked, and the different grounds we have been on, all held together by the bond of a girl and her boots.

The day they give out, will be a sad day. You can already see that they are starting to become worn out. You can see the rough edges and scratches in the front. The worn out shoelaces and mud stains. Yet they are still beautiful. They might not be able to hold on forever, but the miles they have left will be cherished.

Thank you boots for the miles and the memories. Who knew that used shoes could do so much and bring so many new discoveries?

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.
