Reading is one of the most beautiful pastimes. You can live a thousand lives, in a thousand different places and meet a thousand different people within the pages of a book. However, there are many things that comprise the experience of being a book lover. Many of us have encountered these scenarios multiple times.

1. When people don't understand why you find reading so enjoyable.

2. Reading before bed and promising yourself to read only one more chapter, but suddenly its 3 a.m.

3. The. Smell. Of. Books.

4. Rereading your favorite childhood books when you're stressed because it's the best form of comfort media.

5. You could spend the rest of your life in a bookstore.

6. The moment when things start to make sense.

7. Your parents asking where all your money went.

8. When your favorite character dies.

9. You fall head over heels for a fictional boy/girl.

10. You are actually very low maintenance.

11. The feeling you get when you finish an amazing book.

12. When someone tells you to get your nose out of a book.

13. You hate when people interrupt your reading.

14. When your friends don't like reading.

15. When the next book in the series does not come out until next year.

16. Finishing an epic book and then entering a reading slump because you can't find anything to pull yourself out of that void.

17. When you realize the profound impact that a certain book has had on your life.

18. You can easily read a book, or two, or three in one day.

19. Nothing will ever change the love you have for reading books.

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.
