To The Person I Once Knew

I guess people change, I just wish you hadn't changed so much.

To The Person I Once Knew

My once best friend,

It's clear to see that we are both different people now. However, you've changed for the worse, and I'm sorry you have. I'm sorry that I couldn't have prevented this, I'm sorry that you don't actually see your downfall, and I'm sorry that I have to sit here and watch it. I hate who you have become, and I know you are better than this. I hate being disappointed in you, and I hate still caring about you. You stopped being my friend when I needed you here the most, and that's not fair.

I see now that you used me for your own benefit.You knew I would always drop anything to help you, but you would never do the same for me. At first, I accepted that, then for a second, I thought you had started to care about me the same way I did for you. I was wrong. I now understand that you don't have the ability to care for anybody but yourself, and even that is hard for you. I hate seeing you do this to yourself, ruining your life and just overall failing.

I still wish there was a way that I could help you, but I know that you're past that. You're past listening to anybody, you're past caring about anybody. You always hated your emotions, well, it seems as if you finally were able to rid yourself of all of them. I'm sorry that this is your life now. However, I feel more sorry for myself. I feel dumb and idiotic. I can't even fathom how I could have ever been so close to you. You are a completely different person now, you've changed so much that I can no longer recognize you.

I feel sorry for myself for letting you cause this much damage to me. You were always toxic for me, and I guess I just needed to lose you to realize this. So, in a way, this was all a blessing. I guess that means a thank you is in order. So, thanks. Thanks for making me realize that friends can break your heart too, thank-you for showing me how much better off I am. Thank you for motivating me to surround myself with better people. Thank-you for it all, because being knocked down that far has allowed me to come back up even higher than I was with you in my life.

You're not the same person you once were, and that's okay because I'm not either. However, the difference is, I'm a better and stronger person than I was before. You, on the other hand, I don't know if you'll ever come back from this downfall. I hate that this is who you are now, I hate that I had to write this about you, and I hate that you don't know what you put me through. I hate that you don't care about any of this. I hate how I know you won't even read this. I hate how I still care about if you read this. Most of all, I hate how I'm always going to care and worry about you.

You don't deserve to be the focus of any of my prayers, but you're one of the main topics of them. You don't deserve for me to even still think about you and wonder how you're doing. You don't deserve any of this. I hate who you have become, I hate how much you've changed. I hate how you went from one of my favorite people, to my one and only least favorite. I hate all of this, I despise you for everything you've done. I know now though, that you're nothing but a liar, and a coward. I hope that one day, you'll realize that you're wasting your potential. I'm sorry this is what your life has come to. You're in my prayers.

-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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
