I know it's cheesy and there's probably another person willing to fight me on this but... I have the best boyfriend. I feel extra special and lucky to be in a relationship where happiness is key and not a day goes by where I don't feel in love. There are so many things I need to acknowledge and thank my guy for so here are 7 reasons why I appreciate that special someone in my life.

1. His unconditional love

Not a day goes by where I'm not surrounded by tons of affection. No matter what changes, what gets taken away, or what's added in our lives, I know he will not leave my side. Our relationship is built on much more than material things or #couplegoals expectations. I caught a winner :)

2. His honesty

There's nothing I need more from someone than honesty. Lies and sneakiness are what tear down most relationships, but that's not something I need to worry about with him. Keeping it real with each other is what drives us closer together. I'm dating my best friend, so there's no reason the truth should hide in any situation.

3. His humor

Laughing so hard it hurts my stomach is something that never gets old. I could never be with someone who couldn't make me laugh or put a smile on my face. I'm so lucky to have someone who is genuinely funny, and actually laughs at my jokes (even if they suck, it's nice to see his effort).

4. His support

My number one fan. I couldn't do what I think is impossible without his undying support. I really am my best self with him because, well, he helps push me to be the best me I can. I owe some of my motivation to the man who cheers me on, no matter how stubborn I may be.

5. His respect

There's no way in hell a relationship can be healthy without respect. Once I learned this and accepted nothing less, I found my guy. He respects my morals, my choices, and most importantly, me. He doesn't go out of his way to hurt me and in return, I give him that same respect back.

6. His trust

Again, I haven't seen a relationship workout without this trait. If there's no trust then what is there? It's because we have mutual trust it's possible for us to live our lives separately. It's possible to go to different schools, hang out with different friend groups, and live far away without fear of someone straying away.

7. His patience

Last, but not least. If it wasn't for his patience, he would've probably run for the hills by now. He listens to me cry about classes, rant about friends, and of course, let's me pick out the movie we watch. Being in a relationship taught me that both parties have to have patience to please each other.
