10 Reasons I Appreciate My Non-Perfect Boyfriend
Brianta M Diming

Being in a new relationship is always fun and can be very exciting, but when you've had bad luck with relationships, you're thankful to have a great one.

I cannot express what I feel when I’m with you, you give me a happiness I have been looking for and I’m not ashamed to say it. When you came into my life I was very unhappy and it felt like a drought; nothing was exciting to me anymore. No guy and no amount of fun could fill that void that was there. I started to have a depressing vibe about me. I didn't notice it, but others did, and that was scary for me. But that all changed as November of 2015 approached.

I saw you pop up in my 'People you may know on Facebook', my fancy was tickled and I couldn’t help but send that request. As time moved on, I posted things hoping you would even interact with them. I almost gave up, but luck was on my side. My very last attempt was a “to be honest” status and all my prayers were answered. You liked it, I was so excited! This was the moment I was hoping for and from there, our story started. We texted, flirted, we even went old school and talked on the phone. I started to feel something I haven’t before. That tingle I got in the pit of my stomach that I couldn’t control. I didn’t know then but it was the feeling I had been searching for.

After little over a month, we made the decision to start “dating” on the first day of the new year. As we continued our relationship I begin to feel like I was changing, I was never the type to be lovey dovey. I was all about no affection, but you broke down that wall fairly quick. I learned a thing about you that would make most girls run away, I looked at it as a challenge; you weren’t that person that people tried to tell me you were. You were actually the complete opposite: Sweet, Kind, Goofy, and not to mention a country boy at heart!

Now here are the 10 reasons why I appreciate my non-perfect boyfriend:

  1. You love me for me! I never have to act as if I was someone else for you to fall for me.
  2. You support me! You are one of my biggest cheerleaders!
  3. You deal with my crazy attitudes like a champ!
  4. That you always tell me I look beautiful (even when I blatantly don’t!).
  5. We argue about who loves who most!
  6. How you can get me out of a bad mood (even if it’s you who put me in it).
  7. How you still get shy about things.
  8. The way you laugh when I tickle you (because you are trying so hard not too lol.
  9. The way I feel safe when I’m with you.
  10. How you’ve helped me remember who I really am, not who other people want me to be.

These are a few things about my boyfriend that always make me happy. These reasons don't necessarily make or break our relationship. They are just a few reasons I love my boyfriend. He is no angel nor is he even close perfect but he’s the best thing that happened to me so far. And I can’t wait for us to grow old together .

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
