They sure put up with a lot.

5 Things To Thank Your Boyfriend For
Hannah Booker

Ok…let’s be real. We are girls and we (may) tend to be a little overdramatic (sometimes).

Movies and television shows have displayed the wrong idea of love to us. To an extent, that’s how we should be loved, but to another extent, let’s be realistic. We are human and life as much as we want it to be, can’t be a perfect fairytale.

I think sometimes we sit around and focus on these fantasies of love that we have seen on something and we try to compare our love to that.

It just doesn’t work like that, and it’s not fair to compare our love to, The Cinderella Story for example, or even Eric Decker and Jessie James.

We need to recognize the things that our boyfriends do that do make us happy.

How easy is it for us to remind our boyfriends of all the things we wish they would do for us, instead of sitting down and reminding ourselves of all of the things they do, do for us.

I personally can think of several times that I have complained about things that I wish would change, when I don’t look at the bigger picture of how good my boyfriend really is to me.

So here’s a thank you to the guy we complain to, drive crazy, but love with our entire heart.

  • Thanks for the amazing date nights
  • Thanks for the communication just to keep me happy
  • Thanks for making me feel like a part of your family
  • Thanks for always listening and being my human diary
  • Lastly, thank you for loving me and all my flaws

I don’t know about you, but my boyfriend spoils me when it comes to dates. That boy doesn’t cheap himself out of getting us a good meal. I can even recall times we have went and ate and I’m still hungry (yes, I’m a pig) and he offers to go get me whatever I want until I’m full. Now, a boy who knows my love for food has my heart, oh and did I mention he can cook too?

Whether my boyfriend is at work, hanging with friends, or just doing nothing. He let’s me know what he’s up to and shows how much he cares about what I’m up to as well. He get’s busy, but he let’s me know so we can go about our day knowing what each other has going on.

From the minute we started dating, my boyfriend and his family have included me and made me feel welcome in everything they do, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Family is such an important part of a relationship.

My boyfriends mind could be filled with a billion other things, or he could be stressed about something, but he never lets it show and he let’s me go on and on blabbing about the things going on that are stressing me out. When I’m upset about something, he never fails to just hold me and remind me that everything’s okay.

I know that having a girlfriend comes with a lot, but my boyfriend hasn’t stopped making me happy since we started dating. He reminds me daily how much I’m loved, and always compliments me even on the days I don’t think I deserve a compliment.

We may put up with a lot from our boyfriends, but seriously, they put up with a lot from us too.

I wouldn’t trade my boyfriend and our love we share for the world.

So instead of always sitting down and thinking off things they could do better, let’s remind ourselves of all of the things they do to keep us happy, and all the things we have to thank them for.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
