An Open Letter To My Friends

We need old friends to help us grow old, and new friends to help us stay young.

An Open Letter To My Friends

Dear old friends and new friends,

Life is a spiraling motion that can't stop, but with the help of you I can slow down that spiraling. Good things and bad things have been happening lately and all I can think about is the ones who have gotten me through it for all these years. As college is coming to an end, and the real world begins lots of decision are going to be made, but I want you all to know that they are being made with the helpful insight from my friends.

I never doubted any friendships that I have had in my life. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and those friends that were put in your life are also there for a reason. Friends are there to teach you and support you, and you guys have definitely done a fair share of teaching me and supporting me.

To my new best friends (my current ones),

Thank you for never turning your back on me.

I know I am hard to handle.

Thank you for crying with me.

And laughing with me.

Most importantly, laughing at me.

Thank you for being spontaneous with me.

Thank you for being honest with me.

Even when I didn't want to hear it.

I have so much to thank you for that the list would just go on and on. You guys have really helped shape the women I am becoming and I don't give you all enough credit.

To my old best friends,

You taught me so much.

You taught me how to trust.

You taught me how be true to yourself.

You taught me how to manage my time better.

You taught me how to laugh through the hurt/embarrassment.

You guys have been with me the longest. We survived high school together (barely). I know I could call you up right now and have a totally normal conversation, like no time as passed at all. Thanks for sticking my by side through the good and the bad years, when we were both trying to just find ourselves, and figure out who we were. You will always have a special place in my heart, and those memories will always be important to me.

I'm just thankful to have some of the best old friends and new friends combined.

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.
