An Open Apology

You're never going to be alone.

Dear Anonymous,

It's highly unlikely that you ever expected to see this letter, or know that it is indeed directed to you. I haven't talked to you in a while and I'm sure you've begin to think that I don't think about you anymore. Based on the fact that I'm writing this letter, that's far from the truth. Regardless what happens in our lives, the people who are close to us always leave marks that we'll always remember.

I was once close to you. You were my shoulder to cry on. The first person I wanted to tell all my news to, good and bad. Someone I accumulated a ton of memories with doing crazy things and even just having heart to heart talks with. You started out as a stranger, but slowly became family. I will always be thankful that you let me in and saw the good inside of me.

I'm sorry that the good didn't always carryout when I lost my temper. I know there have been times where I let things build up inside of me and I needed someone to take them out on, you were the closest target sometimes. You're not my punching bag, and I'm sorry to have thrown so many low blows your way.

You've always been there, even when no one else was, I'm sorry I stopped returning the favor. I got selfish and put other things before you, even when you needed me the most. I'm sure there have been times where I took you for granted and failed to apologize for it.

I miss the long conversations, the approval to post a selfie on Instragram, the inside jokes, the laughs, the secrets, the advice, the car rides and karaoke sessions, but you in general.

I want you to know, that if there comes a time where the world is against you, I am still here rooting for you silently. You're way too good of a person to take what people dish out to you, and being honest here, you don't deserve it either. You're one of the sweetest, good hearted people I've added into my life.

I want you to know that I am sorry. I am sorry for altering the image you had of me into someone we both know I am not. I never wanted to hurt you or the friendship we had built. I am sorry for going behind your back to push you down to feel low. It is my hope that you can sense my sincerity and find the forgiveness. An apology is only as deep as ones actions.

Lastly, I hope that you're doing well. I hope you are happy and living your life to your fullest potential. I hope you never lose sight of who you are or let anyone change you.

If you ever need a hand, mine is always here.

Sincerely,

An Old Friend

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
