A Note To My Brother

I know it seems tough now, it will be better

A Note To My Brother

My brother,

I know it seems like the world is falling in on you. I know how awful high school can be, I was way more awkward than you. I know the same struggles, but I know you can get through it stronger than me. I know there are different people telling you to do different things, and you don't know who to listen to. I know because I felt it too. I felt the pressure and the fear of letting people down. And you will let someone down, it's inevitable. The one person who you shouldn't let down is yourself. Do what you want to do, not what people want you to do. Stay within yourself. And I also know how scary a new school and new people can be, and I now know I did everything wrong. Don't wait for people to come to you. Be adventurous and brave. Do what might make you a little uncomfortable because it might lead to good things. Don't just hide in your room like me. Find the people that you can rely on to make you happy. That could be a classmate, a teammate, a teacher, or a coach; as long as you find your person, you will be fine. Don't forget about me. I know I might seem like I'm too busy for you, but I will always find the time in my day to help you. I can also say the same goes for everyone else in our family. You're not a burden you are a gift and we all love you more than you can even imagine. Just remember, if I did everything wrong and still made it and am happy today, you can do everything write and be even happier.

We Love You

Your Sister

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.
