Letter To My Former Best Friend

I don't really know what went wrong in our friendship. It really breaks my heart that were in the place were in. But I guess thats life. It's a hard idea to settle with… That you're not my friend anymore. Sometimes it still doesn't seem real. Sometimes I feel like your name will just pop up on my phone and everything will go back to normal. I know that won’t happen though. And even if your name does pop up on my phone it'll never be the same. It’s hard to say that and believe this though. But, somewhere deep down I know that everything happens for a reason.

No matter what happens in my life I know that I would never trade the memories we had for new ones. I truly value what was our friendship. It’s hard to think now that things could ever be the same. But the fact of the matter is were growing and changing. There’s so much more to learn in our lives, best friends or not. We’ve both got a new set of friends and new priorities. And I guess were not each others priority anymore. I find myself questioning what we had a lot. But in the long run I know you cared about me at one point or another. And a part of me thinks you still do, because I certainly still care about you. Growing up changes people and it changed our relationship and that’s okay.

The more I've lived the more I've learned about how to be a friend. And just because your best friends with someone and your friendships seems indestructible, it doesn't always mean it is. Loosing a friend sometimes feel like loosing someone literally. Obviously this doesn't compare with the kind of hurt you feel when someone dies, but man, it does hurt.

To me part of my college experience has been loosing old friends and making new ones. And I'm okay with that. By not being friends anymore I've been forced to reach out to others. I know that in college I HAVE to make friends. I don't have the safety net of you to fall back on anymore. And thats made my current friendships stronger.

So thank you for the fun, for the laughs, for the memories. Thank you for pulling me out of my comfort zone when it needed it. Thanks for giving me an extra push at the right time. But mostly thank you for making me realize that it is NOT my fault that friendships fall apart. There isn't anything I could have done to make you stay by my side and I'm okay with that. I do wish you could have been the one standing next to me at my wedding. You wont be, and that’s okay. Someone else will take that place and thats okay too. Yes I'm hurting, yes it’s hard, but it'll all be okay in the end.

And to my current best friend. Thank you for everything you've done to help me heal from loosing this friendship. You’ll truly never know how much it means to me. It means the world that you understand what I'm going through and why and how I'm hurting. I love you so much. I didn't think i could get so close with someone so fast and I'm so grateful for it… one last thing, Will you be my bridesmaid? ;)

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.
