With Valentine's Day coming up, I can't help but feel very amorous towards my boyfriend. And it is not just Valentine's but our anniversary is coming up and I can't help but feel excited. We have been together for 8 years. Even after 8 years, I still feel like I did when we started dating. I still get butterflies when I'm with him and every little thing we do is like an adventure. I feel so lucky to have found my person at such a young age. So I decided to list 8 things I love about my boyfriend, one thing for each year. Even though there are so many things to list, I'll keep it short and sweet.


1. You're a great listener.

With being in a long distance relationship, communication is very important. And I am so grateful that my guy is an amazing listener, he pays attention to the smallest or dumbest thing I say. And not every guy is like that. He really gives me his full undivided attention.


2. You are down to have some fun.

I love my boyfriend because he is always down to go out and do something fun and exciting. Whether it is going to the theme parks, going to a state park, or just going to go and play a small game of mini golf. He is always ready to go when it comes to have a good time and create some fun together.


3. My favorite buddy to stay in with.

Just like he is down to go out and have fun. He is also always down to stay in and have a lazy day. I love that we can just chill at home and watch movies or binge-watch shows. We can just lay there, order food, and not even change our pajamas. It's one of my favorite things to do with him.



4. That you are my personal technician.

Whether it be my cell phone, laptop, iPad, or even my car. He always seems to know what is wrong with them. And I am so glad that I don't even have to go to someone else who may charge me an arm and a leg to just fix my stuff. He's always able to get it fixed right away or in a day or two.



5. Being able to trust you with anything.

He is the one I go to when I need to talk. The one who pretty much understands me the most. My boyfriend has become my personal secret keeper. He knows what irks me and what gives me joy. What makes me happy and what makes me sad. I know I can trust him with everything and anything I tell him.

(let's pretend that Mason is a puppy)


6. That he is such an amazing fur-parent.

I love how attentive he is to his dog. He shows that he genuinely loves her and cares for her. He makes sure that she is fed, bathed, and well taken care of. He makes sure he plays with her and gives her the love and affection she deserves.


7. Being the hard worker that he is.

When he works he gives his all. He makes sure that the job gets done. Not only does it get done, he makes sure that it gets done right. He takes his responsibilities seriously. And I love that about him.



8. For being my forever best friend.

Not only is he my boyfriend, he is my best friend. I seriously cannot imagine my life without him. I can't even remember a life without him. I've known him for so long, and I am so blessed that I have. He has always stuck by my side no matter the situation. He makes me laugh, he comforts me when I need it, and he knows my favorite stuff.


And these are just a few things I love about him.

But the most I love about him is that He is my best friend, boyfriend, lover, and person.

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.
