"How Do You And Your Boyfriend Work So Well?"

It’s almost like something knew exactly what I wanted and handed it to me.

"How Do You And Your Boyfriend Work So Well?"
Allison Whitehead

I've gotten this question so many times. It really has me thinking. How have we worked so well?

I’m not sure. What I do know is that we aren’t a normal couple.

It’s almost like something knew exactly what I wanted and handed it to me. I wasn’t even looking when he showed up. And you know, you always hear about “fate” and “soul mates” and cliché things like that.

I’m here to tell you it’s real.

Finding a man who treats you like a queen is possible. Being the happiest person on the planet is possible.

But let’s get back to this. How do we work so well?

I think that it’s the fact that we want the same thing. We’re both goal oriented and think about the future. Maybe it’s how I can’t picture the future without him. Maybe it’s the support and trust we give each other.

Ladies, it’s no secret that having a supportive man is amazing. And if you don’t have that, drop him. I went through life for a long time without the support and love I needed. Right when I gave up, he found me. He lifted me up. He brought me back to a place I lost.

And something about writing this seems wrong. Why am I trying to find an answer to something that doesn’t have an answer?

I only have the possibilities. I only have the slow dances in his basement. I only have the pet names and the weird noises we make when we want something. One thing I do have is the love he gives me.

I keep stopping as I write this. In reality, I can’t imagine being anywhere else in my life than with him. Nothing I write can actually express how I feel about him. All I do know is that I have been in love since the day I met him and I always will be.

So, why do we work so well? We have the same goals and we treat it like a relationship should be treated. Why be in a relationship if it isn’t going anywhere?

He’s all that I need to get through. I can’t promise it’s always easy and I can’t promise that we’re perfect. But, we’re perfect in my eyes.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
