To My Better Half

You don't understand how special you are.

To My Better Half
Britney Grdjan

It seems like just yesterday that we started talking. From the time we woke up until I fell asleep, texts were constantly sent back and forth. I wanted to learn everything about you. I learned that your favorite color is green, your favorite food is homemade chicken soup, your favorite movie is Animal House and so much more. I wanted to know the big stuff like how you broke your hand when you were seventeen and the mundane stuff like what your favorite Old Spice scent is. I learned the small stuff about you and some big stuff. Even after all this time, I am still discovering new and fascinating things about you.

It's different, being with someone like you. I never thought, in a million years, that I'd be with someone who supported me, pushed me, and loved me like you do. I always thought that I'd end up with the jerks, the ones who used a girl to get what they wanted or used her until someone better came along. You've been proof that not all guys are the same. Four years ago I wouldn't have believed that, four years ago I was sure that the "good guys" didn't exist. Then you came along and changed my world for the better.

In you, I have found an amazing boyfriend and my absolute best friend. We've gone on so many adventures and have shared a crazy amount of laughs. You have watched me geek out over turtles at the aquarium and I've watched you geek out over video games at PAX East. You are always so willing to do whatever I like doing just to make me happy. No matter where we are or what we are doing, I don't care as long as I have you by my side.

When I started dating you, I didn't know that I'd find someone that'd be open to watching Grey's Anatomy with me on Hulu or someone that would somehow get me into Pokémon. We've invested way too many hours into Pokemon Go but I've loved every minute of it. I've enjoyed the countless arguments we've had over which Pokémon is better (Squirtle, for the win). My favorite days are the ones that consist of lying in bed playing video games, watching Dexter, and eating pizza for dinner. I feel most comfortable with you and I am so thankful that I have someone that makes me feel that way.

Without you, I don't know where I'd be. You have brought so much light into the darkest parts of my life. I am looking forward to what the future has in store for us. You know me better than anyone else does and continuously keep me on my toes. You are just as goofy as I am and a majority of our time is spent laughing at the dumbest things. You honestly don't know how much of an impact you've made in my life not only as my best friend, but as my better half.

Love,

Your Wonderful Girlfriend

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
