A Thank You Note To The One Who Stuck Around

I can’t apologize for the person I was when you first walked into my life and the person I still can be at times, but I can say that I am grateful to you for sticking around long enough to give me a chance to figure out who it is I really want to be.

Your soulmate is not someone who comes into your life peacefully. It is who comes to make you question things, who changes your reality, somebody that marks a before and after in your life. It is not the human being everyone has idealized, but an ordinary person, who manages to revolutionize your world in a second.

-Unknown

There is no perfect combination of words that exist in this language that even comes close to me being able to say how grateful I am that you came into my life.

I will not apologize for being guarded and even cold at times.

I will not apologize for who you met when you walked into my life.

I will not apologize for making you actually work for my trust.

I will not apologize for the missed calls or texts and the no explanations.

I will not apologize for the need for reassurance.

I will not apologize for my silence or my much-needed solitude.

I will not apologize for my outbursts or my lack of communication.

I will not apologize for how you found me

I will, however, say thank you.

Thank you for letting me lean on you when I needed it.

Thank for showing me patience during my worst times and my best.

Thank you for understanding and trying to understand when you can’t.

Thank you for reminding me how nice silence with the right person is.

Thank you for being willing to make new memories with me.

Thank you for showing me fun outside of my comfort zone.

Thank you for listening to me always.

Thank you for your honesty and your trust.

Thank you for holding me when I need to be held.

Thank you for always trying to make me smile.

Thank you for always being ready with the coffee.

Thank you for taking the wheel all the times I can't or refuse to.

Thank you for all the surprises along the way.

Thank you for reminding me everything will be OK, even when I don't believe you.

Thank you for holding my hand through it all.

I can’t apologize for the person I was when you first walked into my life and the person I still can be at times, but I can say that I am grateful to you for sticking around long enough to give me a chance to figure out who it is I really want to be.

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.
