Come a friend's birthday/graduation/insert holiday here time, we've all wracked our brains for appropriate gifts that says, "I treasure our friendship and our time together," in a quirky 'this shows that I know you' way. One of the easiest options is to go online and search for listicles just like this, but no matter how deep of a rabbit hole I dig into or how many tabs are open on my browser, I always run into really generic stuff like pens and notebooks, or pricey things that my meager part-time income can't afford, or stuff that I just KNOW is going to add to the increasing pile of clutter in her closet...

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.
