6. "The most important thing is to enjoy your life... it's all that matters." -Audrey Hepburn

At the end of the day, you can do whatever you want but is it what makes you happy? You need to be able to sleep at night without regrets and pain. Happiness is the key whether it's by going into a different career field or by spending the day indoors with Netflix. Enjoy your life.

7. "Everybody needs love. Everyone deserves it." -Reese Witherspoon

In today's world, it seems like everyone's so scared of love. In reality, we should embrace it, love keeps us human and is one of the best feelings a person can have. Let people love you and love other people because even if it hurts, in the end, you're better for it.

8. "Everyone is insecure..." -Laverne Cox

EVERYONE IS INSECURE. It isn't just you, everyone gets embarrassed and everyone has things they hate about themselves. Learning to accept our flaws and love ourselves gets us so much further in life than trying to hide all our insecurities.

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.
