Hello My Loves,

As you know, I have a lot of love in my heart, a lot to give. So, today, I have decided that I want to tell you how much you really do mean to me. You do so much more for me than you think. I think it's time for you to know what you have done for me.

When I was growing up, I had a lot of "friend issues" as I call it. I hopped from group to group and never really found people who would accept me and who I felt like I belonged with. Then, junior year came and I met my best friend. From then on, I realized what friends are supposed to be like, which I never really got to experience before. It was different. I had someone to listen to me and put me first when I needed to be put first. I had support and motivation to do better, having good friends felt different. As cheesy as it sounds, it felt meant to be.

As time progressed, I met more of you. You make me feel whole. If you know me, you know I went through hard times within high school and getting to USC. It wasn't a walk in the park; it was a lot of stress, hard work, dedication, hurt, and even heartbreak. You have listened to it, helped me through it, even if you don't think you did. Getting through that shaped me to be who I am. And here I am, the most me version of me I've ever been. You've been there, you may not have seen or know everything that happened, but you were there and that was what I needed. Going through all of these hard times, you were the thing I was waiting for. The thing that made the phrase, "It'll get better" ring true.

There were times in my life when I felt so lost. I will never forget those specific moments with you. When you listened, almost knew exactly what I was thinking without me saying it. I remember when I cried in front of you (happy tears or sad tears) and you hugged me. Told me this is just the beginning. It's still the beginning. Today, I still struggle with thinking every ending is the last one, and that there's nothing waiting for me after. Life has proved me wrong, there's always been a new beginning. Yet through all of this, you've been there. Even if we weren't talking at that time, I knew you were in my life for a reason. I knew that there was a plan, and someone I loved that much doesn't go away forever.

What's great about you is that I know you are always there. If I called you crying, you would stop and listen and tell me everything's okay. You would tell me that you wish I was there with you. You would tell me things will get better.

I'm writing this because I need you to know what I would do for you. I need you to know what you have done for me, and why I would do anything for you. I will always have love in my heart for you. And when you need it, you are my priority, you always come first. One time I almost had a panic attack because I thought I hurt you. I cried when I thought I disappointed you. It kills me to think that I could ever hurt one of you, and anything I do never has bad intentions toward you I promise. I love you with my whole heart, and since I've loved you once I can never stop loving you. I am here for you like you've been for me.

Call me anytime. I love you.

Love,

Andrea

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.
