An Open Letter To The One
Jesse Smith

To my world,

Thank you for always believing in me. This might sound overly cliche and mushy, but I mean it with sincerity.

Thank you for never giving up on me. Even when I gave up on myself.

Thank you for being the voice of reason, but also never letting me lose sight of the fun.

Thank you for giving me a goal. Because providing for you is all I've ever wanted.

Thank you for your spirit. An undying love for God is hard to find nowadays.

Thank you for a long engagement. To truly learn what the long haul meant.

Thank you for your travel bug. I need to see the world with you by my side.

Thank you for listening to my wide music taste. Because you know I secretly like that one Maroon 5 song (crap I said that out loud).

Thank you for the laughs. You know EXACTLY how to push my buttons.

Thank you for the tears. Life is full of ups and downs, it's nice to know you're with me.

Thank you for knowing how to fall sleep anywhere on Earth. I do mean anywhere.

Thank you for sleeping for any amount of time. I do mean any amount of time.

Thank you for dreaming. Because there's always a new step and a new adventure.

Thank you for that time you fell going to the Brad Paisley concert. Because it was hilarious.

Thank you for that time I fell down the inflatable slide. Because I know you pushed me.

Thank you for being my high school sweetheart. Because if you can love me then, loving me now is easy.

Thank you for your promise, my ring is a symbol every day.

Thank you for being my wife, now hurry up and get home I wanna go to Chick-fil-a.

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.
