An Open Letter to All the Lost Boys

“There was a time when I was alone.”

In a way, a lost boy can feel like a misfit, such as in Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys, and a sense that we don’t belong in a certain place. That place could be school, home, a job, or even some type of functional gathering. A lost boy can feel self-conscious when others stare and whisper of how they act, dress, speak, or stand. It can cause depression, or even a sense of not wanting to leave home.

“He came to me with the sweetest smile, told me he wanted to talk for a while.”

When that lost boy is with a person, group, or anything inspiring them to smile, they feel safe, warm, happy, and normal. They can be goofy, serious about what they love, and can be themselves. However, it's hard to find that niche of being wanted, and to be open about themselves.

““Run, run, lost boy,” they say to me away from all of reality.”

A lost boy is anyone that will or won’t show that emotion of wanting to run away. I believe a lost boy is someone who will work hard in what they want to achieve that will lead them somewhere that could be like Neverland. That could going to college, finding a great job, moving somewhere new, or anywhere where one feels supported.

"He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe. Believe in him and believe in me."

Being supported or being loved is what one would like to have in their life. If there isn't support, then how is one suppose to feel if they do something great? Being at Neverland to them would feel like a party to them because they have that encouragement and is inspired to continue in what they love to do for who they are.

"Neverland, I love you so, You are now my home sweet home. Forever a lost boy at last."

If you are a lost boy - don't be discouraged or feel unwanted. You will always be wanted, even though you may not know it yet, or feel like it. When the time comes, you will see how those around you affected you in a way to become the person you are now, especially the ones that may have hurt you in any way. Think about it, if you have been through hell and back, then you are unstoppable. Right?

For those who are different and weird-like, heck, let people judge you. You're the one who is going to have more fun anyways. Just be yourself, and know they are plenty of others like you out there in the world. And if you are insecure about yourself, don't be. Someone will see through you and know that you are an amazing, talented person - I guarantee it.

"Peter Pan, that's what they call me. I promise you'll never feel lonely."

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.
