Near, Far, Wherever You Are

An open letter to internet friends.

Near, Far, Wherever You Are

Dear Internet Friends,

You are so, so special. Despite the evils of distance and time differences you still seem to stick around. Our relationship isn't ideal, but having to work hard to maintain a friendship so dear makes it all the more special. I can't describe how rewarding it is to know that you and I have private jokes and special things that we don't share with anyone else; I've let you into my heart and you have let me into yours.

On bad days I don't want to see or talk to anyone else, and on good days you make me feel invincible. Life without you would suck, in the simplest term possible. It isn't easy to wake up everyday with the desire to talk to someone or see them in person and then not get to do those things but we stick through it. You make the hard times worth going through. I wish that we weren't separated; sometimes I wish we could do simple things together like go to lunch or watch a movie, maybe have a sleepover, and when I go out with my other friends I genuinely wish you were there.

I can't wait for the day that we finally get to meet in person. We talk about it all the time and it feels discouraging that after so long we still haven't done this. I don't give up though. My heart leaps every time you write a post about me, and I smile every time you text me. You know me in a way that my friends in person don't. While there is a certain element of friendship we don't have due to only talking through screens, I feel closer to you than I do anyone else. I tell you absolutely everything about my life because I know that I can trust you. You don't judge me for anything, and I take solace in this. I can be myself with you; with you, I am my better self.

I occasionally stay up at night wondering about what it will be like when we finally get to see each other. I really hope that I don't disappoint you, because God knows that you will be even more amazing in my eyes. You are the singular most important person in my life and I wish I had a better way to let you know how I feel than to make a photo collage or write a Tweet. I don't always know how to express myself, but I know that you understand.

Whoever said that soulmates hat to be romantically involved? I think those people are very wrong. You and I must have known each other in all our past lives, because you are the truest friend that I have. You are my soulmate, and I believe that I am yours. We were meant to be in each other's lives one way or another.

I hope that someday the picture below will be us. I will probably scream and cry and never let go of you.

Then again, knowing us, we'd run toward each other and fall and get concussions...

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I love you and you mean the world to me.

Until we meet,

xx Tori.

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.
