When it comes to relationships, we all want to present the best version of ourselves. Perfection is a goal many of us strive for, but can never achieve. Furthermore, it is unfair to expect this unattainable perfection from your partner. Acceptance of their whole selves, mistakes and all, is the purest form of love you can show. Despite being flawed humans, there are things we unknowingly do that allow for an even greater appreciation for each other. Here is a list of the small qualities "perfect partners" have that make hearts flutter and hugs tighten.

1) Mature, but still fun.

2) Open and vulnerable.

3) Honest with others and you.

4) Optimistic and able to see the good.

5) Eyes light up when talking about passions.

6) Supportive of dreams.

7) Remembers the little things.

8) Keeps your secrets.

9) Capable of deep and meaningful conversations.

10) Aware and knowledgeable of current events.

11) Lifts people up, instead of tearing them down.

12) Fights the problem, not the person.

13) Is a shoulder to cry on during stressful times.

14) Realistic, but fantastical.

15) Loves to serve and help others.

16) Never pressures anything; patient.

17) Allows space when needed.

18) Shares the umbrella.

19) Interested in what you have to say.

20) Has other friends that they care about.

21) Sees the value in each person.

22) Confident.

23) Loves family.

24) Romantic without having to be asked.

25) Shamelessly sings in the car, even if awful.

26) Notices a change in appearance, like a new haircut.

27) Takes care of you when you're under the weather.

28) Makes you a better person.

29) Has a personality.

30) Knows how to make you feel better when you're sad.

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.

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.
