So, my dear lifelong friend, thank you for teaching me how a true friend acts.

To The Lifelong Friends
Sidney Logan

I’ve always been the kind of person to keep in touch with old friends. Catching up with acquaintances every so often is something I really enjoy doing no matter if they’re from middle school, high school, camp or any other life activity from the past. Lucky for me, I have found my lifelong friends somewhere along the way. Whether we haven’t talked in weeks, or we are texting right now, some friends you can just tell that they will be with you forever. Thank you so much for showing me how a true friend acts.

There are terrible times when I have been missing home and needing a shoulder to cry on. There are times I fail a test and you tell me I will do better next time. There are times when a boy pulls a dumb move and you are there to listen for hours. The times you offer and follow through with driving me the whole way home after a bad experience the night before. The times that I text you all night long complaining about who knows what. What about the times I have too much fun on a night out and you walk me home? And the times that I am frustrated and you FaceTime me. You are always there for me.

There are completely amazing times when I get an interview for a position I want and you are more excited for me than I am myself. There are times when you take me to Chick-Fil-A even when you wanted BBops. The times when your family brings me out to dinner and makes me feel like I am one of them. The times when you come study with me at the library because you know I need motivation to ace this next exam. The times when you text me every Monday encouraging me to workout. The times when you make me laugh uncontrollably, to the point where I don’t even know what we are laughing about anymore. The times when I ask “do I look fat in this?” and you say yes because you will always be straight up with me. You are always there for me.

During all these awful AND remarkable times, you have always been there for me, and I know you always will be. You support the things I do, you are happy for me when I succeed, and you pick me up when I’m down. You have shown me traits of how a lifelong friend acts.You have shown me how to be selfless and kind-hearted. You have made me want to be a better friend to everyone I encounter, and to be a better friend to you. So, my dear lifelong friend, thank you for teaching me how a true friend acts.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
