Here are some of the words I never got a chance to say.

An Open Letter To the Ones I've Loved And Lost
Odyssey

Hey there,

It’s probably been a while since we last spoke and I’ve got a lot of things to get off my chest. I think I’ll start by saying sorry. Whether our parting was due to something I had done or something you had done, I’m so sorry. I really wish that hadn’t happened. I’m so sorry if I ever hurt you or if I ever broke your heart to the point where you couldn’t bare to look at me anymore. If you’ve ever broken my heart, I’m sorry for shrugging you off and ignoring all those times you tried to fix it. I’m sorry if the people I love lash out at you out because of what happened between us. I’m really sorry if you think that it’s not okay to speak to me. I’m just sorry it didn’t work out.

I get that things change and sometimes it’s not meant to be, but I still love you. If I ever loved you, I’ll always love you and that’s just the way it is. I’m just sorry and I wish things were different between us. I wish I could change how it all ended up, but I can’t so I just had to apologize.

Now that I’ve stated my piece, I just want you to know that I think a lot and I think everything through. I want you to know that I don’t blame you for any of it. I know that in situations like ours, it’s easy for one person to say it was the others fault and to have bad blood. I think that’s just a waste of time. I’m not one to pretend and I’m all about honesty, so when people ask me about you, I’ll never say anything bad. There may have been a time when, out of anger, I said something I didn’t mean. But I can honestly say that after all this time; I have nothing bad to say. When people ask me about you, I just say that it was a shame that whatever happened, happened. And that I miss you, but life goes on.

The last thing I have to say is thank you. I have never gone through anything like the loss of a loved one. It is probably the worst experience someone can ever go through, and it shaped the person I have become. I am better for it. I thank you for showing me that even if the world comes crashing down around you, you’re still alive. You’re still breathing. No matter how hard life gets, I’m able to push through and I owe it all to you. When people burn you so bad, you have no choice but to pick yourself up and let yourself heal. So thank you, for giving me the opportunity to fix myself and learn me.

I hope you’re doing well and I hope you found your happiness. I wish I could have been a part of it, but I understand why it didn’t work out. I love you and I miss you and I wish you the best. It was a pleasure to have known you, even though it was only for a brief moment in my life. Just know that if you ever need me, I would still answer to your calls. You know where to find me.

Best wishes,

Me

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.
