Dear You,

Its always interesting to hear the stories of how people met. I personally love telling ours because the funny thing is I wasn't looking for you, I just found you. It's like people always say, "just when you stop looking, love finds you" (or something like that). You were always around in my life, here and there, then out of funny circumstances and total coincidence we became friends and got to know each other. But never in a million years did I think that one day, now, those friendly run-ins would become something more. Who would've guess that you'd turn my life upside down and become the person I couldn't ever imagine my life without.

I use to roll my eyes at those affectionate couples, holding hands to class and giving those farewell kisses...but I get it now. You are so much more than a boyfriend, you are my absolute best friend. You are my shoulder to cry on and the person I know that would be there for me at any given moment.You are my rock, I honestly have no idea where I would be this year without you. I have had so many difficult obstacles to get over and I would have never been able to keep going if I didn't have you by my side. You believed in me, so I believed in myself. When everyone in my life is bitter and awful, I know I'll always have that one sweet and loving person at the end of the day...I'll have you.

There is no one in this world I feel more comfortable around than you. You look at me like I'm the most beautiful girl in the room, even when I feel like sh*t. I never have to worry about makeup or how I might look in the mornings as I just wake up. You love me for me, for the person I really am. You love me so I can learn to love myself. By just one look, you can tell when I'm upset and you always tell me the truth, even if it isn't exactly what I want to hear. I hate to admit but I know you're right. You know exactly what cheers me up, whether its my favorite flower, an impromptu sushi date at Osaka, or binge watching our favorite show... you always know how to put a smile on my face.

I love everything there is about you, all your funny OCD ways, the constant applications of your medicated chapstick and how you share it with me despite your germ phobia. I love you enough to always save you the last piece of my favorite meals and how we will literally fight about who actually eats it because you know I secretly want it. I love your obsession with cooking and that you are my personal chef. There is nothing better than coming home after a long and hard day of class to an amazing meal.

You always know exactly what I want and need because you listen to every single thing I tell you. Even when I think you're not listening, you always are. I love how close you are to my family and how much they love you (they might like you more than they like me). I love when you play with my hair, kiss my forehead and massage my knees when they ache because I'm an old lady stuck in a 21 year old body. I love that you never judge how much I can eat in one sitting. I love that you are mine... I love you.

I know I'm not the easiest person to love sometimes, but thank you for always putting me in my place and knowing how to handle all my craziness. Thank you for always fighting for us. Even though I hate the small stupid fights I'm still thankful for them because it shows how much we care about each other. Thank you for loving every bit of me, flaws and all. And thank you for showing me what love truly is.

You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I don't know what I did to get so lucky. Experiencing this love with someone like you is something I never thought I'd get the chance to do. You're THE nicest guy in the world with the purest soul. I don't think I have ever met a more selfless and caring person in my life. You make me want to be a better person every single day. There aren't enough words to express my feelings for you or explain everything I am thankful for. I just hope you know that I absolutely adore you Matty and always will.

Now, skin it...


Love always,

Me

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
