We all have those friends and family members that we use to be super close with, but for some reason or another we lose touch and no matter how hard we try we just can't reconnect.

  A lot of us can understand that grown up life is ridiculously busy. We move, we graduate, we meet new people, we go down different life paths, and we make new choices. Our evolving personalities never cease, but our hearts will always hold the memories of the people who helped shape who we are today. Sometimes the change isn't easy and we can be forced out of the lives of others, whether by their choices or our own. We are left wondering and hoping that they are still doing well and thriving on their journey.

  That is why I write this article. For those, that no matter how hard we try, we just can't seem to fall back in sync with each others lives. From the failed attempts to meet back up, to the words that just never get said due to busy schedule or simply not knowing how to even start that conversation. I can't tell you how many times I've opened a draft to write to someone, only to erase everything I wrote and promise myself to try another day. Wanting to just wish someone well, to see if they're okay, but not wanting to come off as the person who only comes around for convenience or to promise another empty promise.

  To those I've lost touch with and we were once close, know that I am always rooting for you. I wish you a life time of happiness and genuinely believe you deserve it. I don't want this to be a superficial "I wish you well so you still like me" sort of situation. I want you to know that whatever season of life you are going through, whatever struggle you are facing, whatever battle you think no one cares that you have to fight alone, you are not alone and I still very much care how you are doing. I don't know how to help or if I even could begin to understand as years have made us strangers once again. My prayers still include your names and if ever truly needed I am a call/message away.

 I love you and hope you are well.

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.
