I'm not going to wait 10 minutes before I answer your text.

An Open Letter to the Boys of My Generation

I'm not going to leave you on open for a few minutes before I respond to your snap.

I'm not going to wait 10 minutes before I answer your text.

I'm not going to agree to Netflix and Chill.

I'm not going to build walls around my heart so that you can't come in.

I'm not going to talk to you while I have 10 other guys on the line.

I'm not going to hide you from my parents.

I'm not going to ghost you.

I'm not going to plaster you on my social media.

I'm not going to stay distant so that I can make a clean break without a broken heart.

I'm not a fan of whatever "talking" is.

I'm not going to play all those games.

I'm going to love hard. I'm going to love recklessly with a ground-breaking love. I'm not afraid of a broken heart. I know how to pick up the pieces. I want to love so hard that it could rip my heart. Because when it comes down to the end of my life, I don't want to say, "I should have loved and let myself be loved." Because when I go I want to leave this life shattered. Not one part of it untouched.

I'm going to commit to you. There is no one else. I don't have a second choice, a plan B or C or D. It's you or no one.

But you know what else I'm not going to do?

I'm not going to sit around and be your second choice.

I know my worth. I know who I am. That doesn't make me cocky. That makes me independent and secure in myself.

So, go have fun with the girls that will play your games and when you decide you want "wifey material" come back around to let me decide if you'll make the cut for husband material.

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.
