Isn't it funny, how the world works? one day you are sad and feel alone. The next day you meet someone that changes your life in so many ways without them knowing. Here is to you, a stranger who became such an important piece of my heart.

Most nights I can't sleep, maybe it's insomnia or maybe I just overthink way to much. I always go back to my darkest times. When I felt so alone, trapped in a cage. Somehow you found the key and set me free. I know that sounds so cheesy, but i'm glad our paths decided to cross the way, time and day they did. Isn't it funny, strange and amazing, how fast we went from being complete strangers not knowing what to talk about, to being friends creating amazing memories.

Most individuals in my life, believe that i'm a closed book with double lock. I'm viewed as a carless, lazy person with no motivation, no goals or dreams, someone boring and probably useless. I let all that affect me for the longest time, I let words cut me and leave a scar. I believe I have done something right, because you are now part of my life. Here is to you, for teaching me what I know now. Reassuring me that I do care, in your opinion way to much. Thanks for giving me not only your hand when I fall but a shoulder where to cry on. Thanks for being there and helping me put myself back together when I thought I was done. Thanks for allowing me be who I really am without judging every decision, and move I make. Thanks for getting mad and correcting me when you need to. This is me thanking you not only for being a friend, but becoming an important family member. It's crazy but I love going back to the first day we met, who knew we were going to share secrets, stay up until 3 am talking about things no one else knows about. Crying, laughing, remembering, and planning new adventures. You and I both have walked through broken glass, have wounds that won't heal completely.

I've been judged, stepped on, laughed at, and dragged down by people that should be supportive. I let myself get talked out of pursuing my dreams, I let myself get eaten alive and put to war with my own self all alone. When I thought I was done and wanted to give everything up, you were there. Making me smile and laugh when I thought I couldn't, cheering, clapping and celebrating every little thing I did. Encouraging me to keep going. You because my motivation, and for that I will be eternally thankful. Most of the time the struggle gets real, but we find a way to make it work. sometimes we are reckless and do what we want, but that's what makes us amazing and maybe a little crazy. Looking back makes me laugh a little, all the times you almost begged me go to sleep. All the times I had a bad feeling and I made you tell me what was wrong.

Thanks for supporting me the way you do, for wanting my opinion and help with so many things. I hope you know that when I say I love you I really mean it. I hope you understand that when I say I will always be here for you, I'm being serious. When I say I'll be cheering you on like your number one fan, I will because in my eyes you are a rockstar. Even if I can't see you, even if we are separated far from each other, i'll always be watching you. I'll always be supporting you until the very end.

Do you believe in destiny? because I think I do. Sometimes I'm asked if I regret decisions i've made in the past. I would normally say yes to this question, but I also believe that things happen for a reason. I wouldn't change a thing if it means having you in my life today. Thanks for being the person you are, giving me a reason to be a better version of myself. Here is to you, to me, to the future memories we will create.

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.
