A Thank You To All My Acquaintances

For the "friends" that can no longer acknowledge you in the grocery store.

This is a letter for the people who decided that being friends with you just isn't worth their time. A little note dedicated to the many friendships that often times turn out to be too one-sided. To the people who used to talk daily, but stopped responding for no reason - this is our thank you note.

Thank you for being the one to end our friendship. I certainly never would have, and the one-sided relationship would have gone on for longer than it needed to. If you're like me, you tend to only see the good in people. You try your best to discount their flaws and love people for who they are no matter what: that's almost a good thing.

But rose colored glasses are only as good as the person they're looking at.

So thank you for being our worldly glasses, and seeing the end even when I was blind sided. This one's for you. As one-sided as this friendship was, don't think for a second there was nothing to be learned. I learned so much from you. So,

Thank you for all the nights we spent laughing until we peed ourselves, it gave me good memories to look back on.

And thank you for the nights I spent alone wondering why you decided to stop making those memories, it taught me that a lot of things don't last forever.

Thank you for the time I invested into listening to your doubts, your fears, and your sad thoughts - and the very minimal amount of times we spent listening to mine, even when my thoughts were deafening. It taught me to deal with problems on my own.

Thank you for all the times you had to be prettier and smarter than me. It taught me to believe in myself even when I'm not the best at something.

Thank you for constantly talking about yourself. It taught me that problems can't be fixed through complaining.

But mostly, thank you for turning away from our friendship. It made me stronger, and taught me to never make the same mistake again.

Thank you for leaving. I wrote this for you x.

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.
