The Love I Did Not Know I Was Capable Of
Angelica Catusco

At the beginning of college, I went on my fair share of dates, but something was always missing. I felt like I was always settling for half of what I deserved.

I just always felt that the meaning of a relationship meant more to me than a label would. So I didn't want to tie a label onto something half-heartedly or commit myself to someone that seemed temporarily and just good on paper.

I told myself that my twentieth year will be spent with good people and good vibes, it's simple but not always easy to follow through on. I did though and committed myself to finding out what made me the happiest.

A day after my twentieth birthday I met you, I guess everything does happen for a reason because I was instantly attracted to your positive energy. I found myself just wanting to talk to you.

It was a night that I didn't want to go out and just wanted to stay in and relax. I am so thankful that I ended up going out that night and bumped into you.

This last year has been a year of adventure, from AZ to NY to DC and out of the country, to growing in our friendship and befriending others as well. To learning how to love and be a part of this team, as equals.

You have taught me that I am capable of loving someone and that their happiness does correspond with my own. All of this has been so natural at our own pace. I am so happy that we have been able to meet in the middle of our crazy lives.

I have realized that home is people, not places. As long as I am with my people it doesn't matter where we go. I admire how much growth has happened in this past year and I look forward to creating more adventures in the future.

A year later, not much has changed and I still have so much fun spending time with you and I don't feel like anything is missing. I am thankful for the person you are, the person you were and the person you are going to be.

Through the highs and the lows, I will have you back and be on your team no matter what. Even if we can't always agree on what movie to watch or where to pick up food. Thank you for introducing me to Spy movies and Korean BBQ.

For supporting me even through the times I really embarrass myself, aka Mt Lemmon. You truly are the sweetest guy I have ever met and such a blessing to have in my life.

Thank you for always being down for spontaneous adventures and for always working with me and not against me.

This year has changed my perspective on what I am capable of because have such an influence on our lives and sometimes it just takes the right person to show us that.

You inspire me, challenge me and have made me feel the love I didn't think was possible. Cheers, to a wonderful year of adventure and growth.

You are everything and more.

I just want you to experience every type of possible happiness this world has to offer.

I love you.

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.
