An Open Letter To My Childhood Best Friend

You were always my common denominator.

To My Childhood Best Friend,

Where do I even start? Our friendship started when we were very young. We survived all those crazy kindergarten days together, and then soon we were concurring grade school together. Our matching outfits or friendship necklaces were always a hit. Not long after, we tackled middle school together. We were there for each other to share our first kiss experience and our first heartbreak. High school came around, and we got our first cars. We would follow each other to school every morning and park right next to each other. The mornings we were running late, we knew. You would blare the horn until I got in my car, or I would I wait at the end of my driveway until you past. Before we knew it, we were being asked to the prom, and in a blink of an eye, we were walking across the stage at our high school graduation. Throughout it all, you were always there. Now, we have entered the next chapter- college.

You were always my common denominator. You are that person that easily become more than a friend but family, too. I mean there are weeks that you ate dinner at my house more than your own through high school. You know where my spare key is to my house, and there are days you sometimes talk to my mom more than I do.

I love you, girlfriend. Our friendship has truly been the foundation of my entire social life. You truly taught me how to be a friend, and I cannot thank you enough. If there is one person in this life that I know will always been there for me, it's you.

We may not see it other as much as we did at one time, but there isn't a moment I know of that we weren't there for each other. I love when I call and you still understand everything, and I barely have to say anything at all.

College has be an experience. It has made it even harder that you aren't physically by side. Of course, I miss you. But I know we are both happy where we are.

In this life, you are going to great things. You are the most hardworking people I know. Your smile and strong-will is contagious. And I will forever be in your corner.

Whether I am 2 miles up the road or 75 miles from you, I always got your back. I cannot what to see what the future holds for each of us, and I am honored to call you one of my best friends.

So thank you. Thank you for always being there and sharing this crazy journey with me. I couldn't have survived this long without you. People search their entire lives to find that one person who always understands, and fortunately, we found that in our first ever friend.

I love you, always and forever. Just know, you always have a friend in me.

Sincerely,

Your forever best friend.

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.

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.
