An Open Letter To My Little Sister
Alexis Williams

Hi Sis,

I sleep in the room next to you, but writing this was easier than saying it. I love you. Yes believe it or not, I love you like you're my, well, sister.

You have the best personality. And you do so many things that I admire you for. You are so assertive. You know what you want and you know what you're going to say. You are so stubborn and sometimes I feel like the exact opposite.

You're so beautiful. You're so different from when we were little it's insane. Your hair is so long and it's crazy how much you've grown up from just last year alone. I can't believe you're almost an adult, it racks my brain just thinking about it.

I know you'll do great things though. You've always had a good heart even though you may not always show it. You're tough. You never let anyone sway the way you think.

I love the way you stand up for yourself, no matter how awful the moment may be. You aren't scared, you let them know exactly who they're messing with. Like I said, you've always been tough.

You have a great mind. You work so hard for the grades you have in school. You're a genius. You overcame everything to be where you are academically.

I'm proud of you. No matter how much I yell at you and I hope you know that.

We get along one minute and then the next your livid, leaving me confused as to why you're even mad.

You confuse me every second of every day. I'm still not sure if you like me even though you've been slice for like what, 16 years.

I remember when you were little. Always wearing overalls and those pink chucks that I was always jealous of. I remember you throwing a baby doll at my face and knocked out my tooth that I was going to the dentist to get removed the very next day, thanks for that by the way.

We always sing too loud in the car and laugh way too loud when dad tries to watch TV. We can't help it though, sometimes we just need to laugh together or else we'll just cry.

When we really get along its rare. We argued more than anything in the world about the stupidest things. Taking too long in the shower to not checking my phone while I'm driving to accidentally losing your sweater that you deliberately told me not to misplace... Oops.

When we're together we eat a lot more Taco Bell then we should. We eat a lot more of everything to be completely honest. That's always your fault.

We disagree. So much, it may be a little unhealthy. But we love each other!

You're full of spunk. I'm kind of reserved. You're definitely quieter than me, I'm always yelling even if I don't know it.

But what matters is that I love you, every part of you. Even the parts that make me angry.

We are completely different. And that's perfectly fine.

XOXO,

Your Big Sister

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
