An Open Letter To My Best Friend

You deserve to hear this.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
M-Magazine

Dear Best Friend,

I have seen you struggle through many heartbreaks, long nights and making choices that you know will affect your future. I have seen you lose family members or your best friend and the heart ache you experience after. I have witnessed the times you have just wanted to give up but didn't. I have seen your fears come alive before. So I want to be the first to say, you deserve the world. You are the most kindhearted, passionate, strong, hard working individual I have ever met. You impress people with your personality and big heart. You will go out of your way just to make someone else's day better when you are the one who deserves to be treated that way. You continuously have your every ounce of your beings laid out but people find a way to shatter it. You never feel smart enough, beautiful or handsome enough, but you are more than that. You are more then what society makes you feel like. I want to tell you that you deserve better, you deserve more. You deserve the world.

So why I am writing this letter now? Because you deserve it. You deserve to hear this everyday but you would probably deny it since you feel like you don't need to hear this. You have really hit the hard patch of life but have not shown or told others about it. As much as I wish I could take away all the struggle and pain you have experienced, I can't. But that doesn't mean I can't be the change and help you need. I am here for you whenever you need it even when if it may seem like I am not. I am and will always be there for you, I'm just a phone call away. You don't even have to say you need help, just that you need a friend; a best friend and we will do what we do best to make your problems go away.

Next time you have a new interesting or hard life choice to make, just know I will be there. I want to hear your thoughts and decisions. I want to support you and be that listening ear. I want to be the one who empathizes with you, not sympathize. I want to be that one to make your day better. Because you deserve the world whether your strong persona says so or not. You are a wonderful human being. Don't ever let others define that for you or make you feel less. You are perfectly imperfect.

XOXO,

your 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.

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.
