I Am More
Nick DiVerniero

I am more than meets the eye. I am more than a 5-foot-3, brown hair, brown eyed girl. I am more than my waist size, more than my bra size, more than my dress size. I am not just a body to stare at, to judge. I am more.

I have more to offer than just my appearance. I've been known to tell a joke or two, and I've been known to laugh at some. I will do everything I can to take care of you when you're sick, even if I'm far away. I will listen to your problems, and likely try to cheer you up or give you so-so advice. Because I am more than just a body.

I work hard, have career aspirations, dream of traveling the world, and have likes and dislikes. Because I am more than just the number on my clothing tags or how my face looks.

I have met guys who only want me because my bra size is what they consider "perfect" or because they think I'm "easy." I have met guys who only want one thing and care about nothing more.

But I am more.

We are all more.

Each and every one of us has more to offer than just our bodies and our appearances. We all have stories to tell, knowledge to share, and things to say. We all have things that we like, and things that we don't like. There are little things that make each of us who we are. Things that are more than what meets the eye.

I don't mind when I'm told I'm pretty. I don't mind being told when I look good in that dress. But I can promise you that I am more than that.

Compliment my smarts, my humor, my caring nature. Compliment me on my talents, my ambition, my use of emojis. Compliment me on the things that make me who I am.

Because I am more than meets the eye.

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.
