An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

Thank you for being my person.

An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Amanda Merrell

Dear Best Friend,

I remember the day we met like it was yesterday. I knew from that day on that we were going to have an amazing friendship that was going to last a very long time. From our shopping trips to our dinner dates, movie nights to late night drives, we've always had the best time together and laughed until we cried.

I miss our memories and our random adventures. I miss hanging out with you after school, going out to eat at our favorite restaurant and going home and binge watching Pretty Little Liars until we fell asleep. I miss staying up late and sharing our deepest secrets and biggest regrets, but most of all, I miss you.

Now we're several hundred miles away from each other and things are changing. We've both made new friends and new memories, and we don't communicate as often. But one thing remains the same- we still have each other’s back.

No matter how far away we are from each other, I know that you are still my best friend. If I ever need advice, you're the person I go to. If I never need to complain or cry, I know that you're the person that will listen to me. You're the person that will stay up with me at ungodly hours of the night and talk about life with me. In other words, you're my person.

I'm so thankful for our friendship and all of our memories. Whether we go four days or four months without talking, we can always pick up where we left off. Thank you for being my person and staying my best friend through the distance. No one can ever replace you. I love you, best 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.
