13 Truths About Life
Inc.com

1. Love is important. It is the most valuable emotion in your life. Always love fully and selflessly and soon you will attract people who would do the same for you.

2. Look past the superficial and see people for who they really are. Keep the ones that make you happy, and cut out any unnecessary drama.

3. You don't need to explain yourself to anyone. Just be yourself.

4. Don't apologize for the way you feel. Your feelings are real and valid. Emotion is just another part of being a human being , and it doesn't make you weak to express that sometimes.

5. You can do anything you set your mind to. Literally, anything. The only thing holding you back is yourself.

6. Do things spontaneously, because the future is not guaranteed, but you can always take advantage of the here and now.

7. Don't stress about situations beyond your control. It will all be okay. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

8. You are beautiful. Nobody has the right to tell you otherwise. You bring something to the world that no one else can.

9. Embrace your gifts. Don't hide them.

10. You are significant. Even if you don't feel like it sometimes, everything you do affects other people’s lives. You have the power to make someone happy today.

11. Keep your heart open. Even after being hurt, you are not at fault for loving or caring about someone. It's not a weakness; it's strength to continue to love wholeheartedly despite what you have been through.

12. Ask yourself… “Will what I'm worried about right now matter in 10 years?” If not, it's probably not worth it.

13. Be happy in everything that you do. Find joy even in the things that you thought you would never enjoy.

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.
