To the person who lives 300 miles away and still continues to be my rock.

An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Haley Colton

To my person,

I truly believe God places specific people in your life at just the right time, and you are the perfect example. The greatest of friends have come and gone out of my life, but for some insane reason, you're still here. I'm so blessed to have deserved an amazing person like you in my life.

I could go on and on about all the positive impacts you've had on my life. You have the biggest and purest heart I have ever seen, and it's the reason why you love the people in your life so deeply. I have never watched someone work so hard to get to where they want to be.

You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. You loved me when I was hard to love. You listened to me when I didn’t have a voice and let me cry to you when I was broken. Most importantly, you never gave up on me; that is special.

It's also very special to find another person who is the spitting image of yourself. It almost freaks me out when I think about how similar we are. Stubborn, too caring, extremely spontaneous and full of so much love and passion. We're each other's worst enemies, but I can't imagine being so brutally honest with anyone else.

You know me better than I know myself sometimes. You know what makes me die with laughter and the silly little things that make me so mad. You can tell through a text message when I am upset and then continue to do everything in your power to make me feel better. You keep me motivated on those days when I'm extremely unconfident and all I want to do is be lazy. You understand my little weird quirks and think I'm the most tired person in the world but you continue to stay by my side.

Wherever our futures take us, I know you'll be in mine every step of the way, and I wouldn't have it be any different. You fill my life with so much happiness, and I live for the moments when I get to spend short time periods with my long distance best friend.

You are the epitome of a beautiful human being. I hope that every person in this world has someone like you in their lives.

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.
