An Open Letter to my Hurting Friend

You are worth it (and then some).

An Open Letter to my Hurting Friend

It hurts me to see you hurting. Someone like you, in my opinion, never deserves to go through what you are going through.

I wish you could see how much you’re truly worth. I wish you could see how much potential you have and how easy it would be for you to reach the fullest of it. I wish you could see that life doesn’t always have to be so difficult. I wish you could go an entire day without feeling the weight of seven worlds on your shoulders.

You are unbelievably strong… much stronger than you think you are. I know some days you feel like the world is caving in on you, but what you don’t realize is that you are strong enough to push away that caving world. You can move mountains with your touch and move a nation with your words. You can do absolutely anything, without a question.

You are unbelievably courageous. I don’t know many people who have the courage and willpower to go through the day, conquer it, and fight their inner demons all at once. But you do.

You are worth it (and then some). You are the kind of person everybody would love to have as their friend. Your jokes and laughter can brighten a room and even lift my own dark clouds away. Every single part of who you are is precious, and the day you realize that is the day that you will change your own life.

You are someone who makes others feel better about themselves. Why don’t you use that same magic on yourself?

You don’t need to settle for anything less than who you are. You don’t need him. You may think you do. You may want him, but you certainly don’t need him. It would be hard to find someone who is everything that you are. It would be hard to find someone that would not only compliment your unique traits, but push you to be an even better version of yourself. It would be distressingly difficult, but you could do it. There is someone amazing out there waiting for someone like you to come and change their world around.

If you could just see in yourself half of what I see in you, you’d understand. I hope that you will someday.

Your life, your rules.

With love,

Your 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.
