Why a Best Friend is a Best Friend

My best friend has been by side for almost 5 years now- And when I say best friend I mean my go-to, personal therapist and comedian, and literal other half. I can truthfully say that I would not be me without her. Friendship is such a gift; one that we should remind ourselves of daily. I am crazy thankful to have been given a best friend who always, without fail, shows unconditional love- the kind a best friend should show.

You know a best friend from others because they...

Tell you how it is 

"maybe he's just busy," "maybe they forgot and have something going on," "maybe he didn't mean it"

no no no... your best friend will be there to call out the "no's"

they will remind you of what you deserve and call you out when you're wrong, and they won't be afraid to do it. My best friend isn't scared to tell me when I am being dramatic or reading too much into a situation- she brings me back into reality and helps me see truth

Listen to your rants- and guide you through them

A blessing to me has been knowing that no matter how big or small a problem is- I can call my best friend and know that she will talk me through it. Most of all though, I am thankful to that she will just listen. In the past 5 years there has been a heck of a whole lot that has gone down in our lives and we have gotten each other through it rant by rant. Plus it always help knowing they have your back and will support you no matter what:)

You can share EVERYTHING

I truly think my best friend knows me better than I know myself. She knows everything there is to know about me and could tell ya anything there is to tell- the good, the bad, the embarrassing, and the ugly

You are a part of the family 

I would consider my best friends family my second family- the people who I know have my back and support me just as my own family does

Jordan is my best friend and the most serving, kind-hearted, compassionate, giving, and funniest person I know. I love her like a sister and am blessed beyond measure by her friendship.

Here's to having a best friend that makes you- well, you!!

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.
