Both Of You Are My Person

For all of you out there with a person, and for those of you lucky enough to have more than one

Both Of You Are My Person
Peter Gritsas

For those of you who don't know what a “person” is, then you better start watching Grey’s Anatomy. My best definition of a person is this, someone, who you have such a unique bond with that couldn't possibly be understood by others. You do things that would just be insane to the blind eye. For instance, we practically only speak through movie quotes, there are days where we eat food and pretty much don't say a word to each other, and it is EXTREMELY rare that we hug or show any other sort of physical affection. You’d think we hate each other right?! WRONG! Because the second one of us has a broken heart or is upset, we are there in a split second. They find out I am in a rut and what do they do? They come over with a pizza, 8 different kinds of candy, various Hostessproducts, the movie version of Sex and the City, and two sets of ears ready to listen. It is so rare to have friends that you could say anything to, and we have said some crazy stuff to each other. We are the kind of friends that say, “So when you are with a guy for a while and you think you might wanna marry him, we will just take him by the arms to Tiffany and Co. andpoint out the ring you want.” There are moments where we look at each other and say, “So if I just fail at life can we just get a nice apartment together with a king size bed and never get out of it?” I will never forget both of them coming to the opening night of my shows and giving me flowers with notes that say, “Don’t suck”, “You are a disappointment”, “We paid 12 dollars for this?” I’ve read so many stories about people having a “person”. But there is nothing like having the trio that I have now. Through all of it, we have never let distance get to us. We are miles away from each other during the school year, I’m even in a different state! We are the type of friends that make time to FaceTime during the week and simply make the effort to stay in touch. I remember so clearly what Meredith Grey said to Cristina Yang in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, “Derek is the love of my life, but you are my soulmate.” Simply put, we are the friends that go above and beyond for each other. To close, I will leave you with a quote by Charlotte York from Sex and the City,

“Don't laugh at me, but maybe we could be each other’s soulmates? And then we could let men be just these great nice guys to have fun with?”

I don’t know about you, but sometimes that seems like the best plan ever. This is for all of you out there with a person, and for those of you lucky enough to have more than one.

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.
