My beautiful and cherished friend,

How do I begin to thank you for who you are? Good friends are few and far between but somehow I was lucky enough to let you slip into my well-protected world, and you changed it for the better. I know this sounds dumb and mushy, but I am sorry, you my friend, mean more to me than you will ever know. I traversed a great deal of my life on my own. Through the trials and tears I was utterly alone but then God brought me you.

You understand me in a way I am not used to being understood, and instead of shying away from my weirdness, you embrace it. You accept me with open arms and let me fully be who I was created to be. I do not feel the need to perform for you, in fact, it is quite the opposite. With you, I am able to be weak because you know I am strong. I am able to be undone because you know I don't have to keep my life together 100% of the time. I can get stressed and freak out for no reason because you know how to make me stop over thinking. We can be weirdos together with no makeup on, our ugliest pajamas and our hair a mess watching Netflix while crying our eyes out about the boys that just broke our hearts. You love me just the way I am and I am so grateful.

Even when distance comes between us, you are still my best friend. Distance has only brought us closer and I never thought I would say it, but I am thankful for our time apart. Even through our rough patches, you have loved me. I tried my hardest to push you away and you continued to love me through the pain I caused you. We communicate not only about the good things but also the bad and it brings us closer. You have seen the darkest parts of me and my deepest flaws and yet you stick around.

I love you so much friend. We have been through so much individually and apart and I am ever so grateful for the strength and acceptance you have brought me. I know we will be friends for the rest of our lives and I can't wait to see where our lives take us. Through distance, trials and our own stupidity, I know we will be there for one another. I love you babe, don't ever change.

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.
