An Open Letter to My Middle School Best Friend

Memories that have faded away

An Open Letter to My Middle School Best Friend

Dear Middle School Best Friend,

It took me awhile to write this, as I have to remember the blurred memories we had together. From the times we played uno on Tuesday and Thursday (which I still play, and now became addicted) to that time we did stuff together on 8th grade field day.

But, that is not the topic of this letter. It is mostly what happens afterwards. We started to drift apart from each other in a way that I wish we never did. I send you message after message on the site we agreed that we would message each other on. Day and months go by and no responses. Years go by and we have grown apart. Messages are left to be responded to months later. Questions are still left unanswered, and I continue to wonder, where did the friendship go?

I honestly do not know where things went wrong as all of my friendships seem to fade away into nothingness. Even to this day, I question if my former roommate and I are still going to be friends. I mean you said we would never lose touch, but we faded away from each others lives. How would history not repeat itself again? I guess that will continue to be a part of my anxiety and nightmares that I wished that I never felt.

I would message you on tumblr (because I found it) but I think we have faded away so much that I think you won't remember me anymore, mostly because I have changed too..

From,

Your Middle School Best Friend Matthew..now Mat…

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.
