A Letter To The Boston Red Sox

You're forever my favorite team.

The Boston Red Sox just played their season opener, and even though they lost, it was an incredible game. I would like to start off by saying, do not let this game determine your season.

We have some of the bests in the MLB on our team; Mookie Betts, Dustin Pedroia, and Chris Sale are names that even Yankees fans know.

We started off so well. We kept a 4-0 lead over the Rays, all until the bottom of the eighth inning. Once the Rays came up to bat, they began to shut us down.

We may have had a few fumbles and bad plays toward the end, and I fully understand losing confidence, and, therefore, motivation toward the end. When you hold a lead for so long, and then lose it, it feels impossible to bounce back.

Don't hold onto that game as a defining moment of the season. Though it was a memorable first game, use it as a way to redeem yourselves. You have so many games ahead of you, and I know you are capable of taking home another World Series trophy.

You have so much potential. There are amazing teams in the league, and you will have some games that will be much harder than others. Don't get discouraged from your losses, though. As frustrating as it may be, reflect upon them and recognize your mistakes so you can take those with you to practice and knock them out of the park (pun intended).

I've been a Red Sox fan for as long as I can remember, and I've supported you through your winning seasons, as well as the seasons where you may not have cone so well. One thing I am confident in is your ability to bounce back from a downfall, because I have seen you do so before.

Remember that you are up against the best of the bests at all times, and no wins will ever be handed to you. You must put in your all every single game, and work as hard as you possibly can for your wins. Just because you are against the best of the bests does not mean you are not also among the best of the bests. If you were not capable of beating any of these teams in the league, you would not be where you are right now; playing on a Major League Baseball team.

You are a strong team. You are a capable team. But, most importantly, you are a team. You must work together at all times to have the strongest plays and be the strongest unit you can be, to carry yourselves to victory.

I am so excited to see what you guys bring this season, and I cannot wait to continuously support you, no matter what.

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.
