Dear Friend,

When we first met, I thought that my life was great, and I honestly thought you didn’t really like me when we first met. You seemed shy, and I don’t do well with shy people, I tend to be too much for them. We barely spoke the first time our groups of friends hung out, and that was ok.

A few weeks went by, you and I finally had an actual conversation that was away from the world. We both laughed at when we first met because I thought you didn’t like me, and you thought I didn’t like you. Turns out it was just a miscommunication, and I’m glad that in that moment I truly got to know you.

I thought I had all the best friends I needed in my life, but I was proven wrong. You are this free spirit, with zero cares in the world, and I wish that I could be more like that. I always thought I was that kind of person but when it came to proving it I would shy away. You have brought me more out of my shell then I ever thought could be possible!

I had no idea that I needed someone like you in my life.

You aren’t the friend that I call to gossip with, you aren’t the girl I call to complain or give excuses to... You’re someone I call to talk about my experiences in life and discuss what I am going to do next. You let me bounce all my wild ideas off of you and you tell me if I’m actually crazy or not. You’re someone that I live in the moment with and don’t care about anything or anyone. I never think about the what ifs when we are together and it’s my piece of freedom in life.

I have amazing best friends and I never thought that I needed one more.

The universe knew exactly what it was doing when it decided that we needed to be friends. It’s been four months since we met and I couldn’t imagine not having you by my side. You bring out this free spirit in me that I was always scared to reveal because I was insecure about myself. Seeing you be so free and have zero cares in the world, with borderline zero drama in your life has been exactly what I needed.

There is never such thing as too many friends in life, but I like to keep my close people limited and I’m so glad that you’re in my close circle of friends that I call family. If someone would’ve told me that we would be this close now from the first time we met, I would’ve told them that they were CRAZY and don’t know what they’re talking about.

Now we’re here and I can’t imagine not having you as a best friend! Thanks for being the friend I thought I never needed, and the friend I didn’t think I could find, you’re the best and I don’t know how to thank you for helping me in ways you can’t imagine.

Thank you, see you soon!

Sincerely,

Just One Piece of the Package

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
