Dear New Best Friend,

Thank you for everything.

Dear New Best Friend,
Victoria Salvatore

Well, I don't even know where to start. It seems as if just yesterday I was meeting you, not aware of the fun we would soon share together. I could have never hoped for anyone better. You truly are such a special person, so I thought I would tell you why.

Meeting You.

To be honest, when we first met, I didn't know if we would be friends. We were meeting a lot of people and you could have just been another face in the crowd. Instead, we immediately started bonding. It was as if we had known each other for years, even though it had been only a few days. By the end of the first week of school, we were staying up late together and grabbing all meals of the day. It was a great start to the school year.

Often, when you meet someone, most conversations involve surface topics, like where you are from, what you do in your free time, etc. As the answers to these questions quickly came and went, we decided to indulge in more intriguing conversations. I soon came to realize the type of person you were. I realized you were someone who actually knew how to listen to me and cared about what I was saying. You would make me feel like I was actually included in things, something that was quite foreign to me. We became inseparable, staying up late during the week to do homework together and going out late on the weekends.


Your Heart.

At last, I felt that I had met someone who I could actually enjoy myself with. As you know, I did not have the best luck with people at home. My friends were rude, they blew me off, belittled me to nothing. Still, I stayed by their sides through everything for reasons I can't explain. I really was lost with them. And then, I found you.

You have no idea how much meeting someone like you means to me. As we talked several times, you know how I was treated at home. And you chose to be an actual friend to me, someone I could trust and I know would not run away tomorrow. It isn't easy for me to trust people and believe that all of their intentions are good. So, I apologize whenever I doubt friendships with other people. Thank you for understanding that. I know this sometimes angers you, but you've never wavered from our friendship. This is a testament to the type of person you are: someone who actually is there to stay.


Our Fun

Since becoming best friends, we have done so much together. The amount of seemingly dumb things we say are some of my favorite memories. We make every situation a party, whether it be in our dorm rooms or some frat we are going to that weekend. When we are together, we do not have a care in the world. It is as if the world is ours and we can accomplish anything we want.

There is so much in store for our future. We have so many adventures planned for this year and I cannot wait. I finally found someone who I can enjoy every type of moment together, no matter how dumb or how serious it is. Thank you for being that person for me. I know you know this, but you are the first person I can actually see myself being friends with for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to be little, old ladies together one day.

.

Thank you for being a genuine best friend.

Here's to the countless years together to come.

Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
