A Letter From Your Old Best Friend

Don't worry you are not forgotten in this game of life.

A Letter From Your Old Best Friend
Tumblr

As we grow older people come in our lives. Some friendships end by just getting out of touch and some end with a lot of tears. Fights or no fights, at one time this person slept over at you house and helped you through the hard times. This is for the friends that came and went. You're not forgotten and I don't have a voodoo doll with pineedles dedicated to your honor. At least I don't, I can't speak for the others that will share this article.

I am an appreciative person. I don't think that because a friendship ended badly that it means we were never really friends. That's just not true and in my opinion, naive.
There were times where we told each other everything and sang in your car to old Britney Spears. We talked about boys or even our boyfriends at the time and helped each other style our hair. We couldn't wait to see each other to let the other know about something that made our day or maybe even drama that happened. We were there for each other 24/7.

I have had a lot of people come in and out of my life because of my Dad being in the military. I don't believe that every friendship can last forever. I've learned the hard way that not every relationship can last, even if you want it to. I might be hurt when it happens, but I know how to move on from a friendship. You move on by acceptance. Know that you don't have to carry that anger, hate, or sadness from a lost friendship. Your time with each other has finished so new people can be brought in. Sometimes you will turn into friends that just say "hi" in passing but unfortunately, sometimes you won't speak at all.

So when thinking about friendships that have faded remember the good times. Don't turn good memories into negative ones based on how that friendship ended. A person is not their mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone commits a sin sometime or another. We choose each other to take on this game of life and your turn in my game just ended. It's hard to break the habit of a relationship, any relationship. You get so used to spending all your time with someone. So since I will always cherish every friendship I have had, this is my message for my lost friends...

I appreciate you. I'm not holding a grudge. I can sit here and honestly say I have no grudges against anyone. I face more demons than our failed friendship. You were there for a time in my life and we were closer than ever. I'm thankful for that and for you as a whole. If you need me then I am always around. You're human, not a ghost. I won't ignore you. So whenever you need me, I got you.
-Your old best friend

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.
