Open When...

We are having relationship problems.

Open When...
Tumblr

We have all seen those cute "OPEN WHEN" letters that girls create for their significant others. I have, admittedly, never written one of these; although, after scrolling through Pinterest looking for a cute craft to do for my boyfriend, I started thinking about what I would write if I ever did decide to do something like this...

*theoretically, in an envelope titled: OPEN WHEN WE ARE HAVING RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS*

I am a fighter. I work so hard for everything I have. I strive to be the best person I can be, while pushing those in my life to lead the best lives they can lead. I have never had anything handed to me. I am loyal, I am honest, and I am forgiving.

I am an optimist. I always see the best in people, even if they don't see anything good left in themselves. I expect the most out of everyone around me. I believe that nobody is perfect. I get annoyed easily, and I get angry at the littlest of things. I am needy, I am short-tempered, and I am a handful.

I have come to realize that relationships aren't what you see in the Disney movies. Life isn't filled with talking animals that will help us fix all of our problems, no matter how good we are at singing. We will fight, argue, and disagree, but at the end of the night I will find myself wrapped in your arms, even if only in my mind. I will wake up to your beautiful eyes and your sleepy smile. I will hear your muffled "good morning" as you encase yourself beneath the sheets and return to your deep sleep (because although we both find ourselves awake at 5am, we've always agreed that 5am is just way too early to begin the day).

Every part of my being says that we are meant to be together. I may be upset with you now, or vice-versa, but I want this. I know that if I am with you, I can accomplish anything. I know you will push me to be the best person I can be, and I would do the same for you.

You're my other half, and sometimes my better one.

I may still find myself affected by past encounters with past relationships, but I am willing to work past any and everything to be with you. I'm not sure what the sitatuon is that caused you to find yourself reading this letter, but I do know how hard we have both worked to be where we are now. I will not give up on us because of a minor setback.

I cannot promise you perfection, but I can promise you a lifetime of never-ending happiness.

I love you always,

Taylor.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Moana's Top 10 Life Tips

"Moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other Disney movies do.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
