The many struggles and phases of having a name that no one can ever seem to pronounce correctly.

1. When it's the beginning of the semester and you have to calm and prepare yourself for the next month of having to correct your professors and new peers on how to say your name correctly:



2. Then realizing that it isn't fun and you are already over telling people how to say it 10 minutes later:


Repeating it, and repeating it...and repeating it...

3. When your friends say your name incorrectly even after knowing you for MONTHS...or even YEARS:

I mean how...after all this time?!

4. When someone says, "I don't want to say your name like that so I'm gonna say it the wrong way":

5. When some continues to say your name wrong even after you have corrected them an endless amount of times:

6. WHEN PEOPLE SAY YOUR NAME INCORRECTLY JUST TO MAKE YOU ANGRY:


Yeah, it works.

7. When someone says they don't like your name or thinks it's weird:

Cool, thank you! Okay thanks, oh and thanks!

Cashier: "Can I have a name for the order?"

Me: "Uhhhhhhhhhh"

9. Then using your real name and having the cashier look at you like:

12. When you meet someone else with the same name as you:

JK this has failed to happen to me yet but I can just imagine that this is what it feels like.

13. When your name can be difficult but it's worth it because you know how truly unique and beautiful it is:

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.
