Throughout my daily life, I sometimes forget to thank the people who mean the most to me. This is completely cliche, but my biggest supporter and number one fan is my boyfriend.

However, the term boyfriend doesn't even begin to explain what you mean to me. You are my best friend, companion through all life's events, my personal chef, alarm clock and so much more.

You are part of the reason I get out a bed every morning (or afternoon). Even if that means you literally tear the blankets from me. You make sure I go to class, even when I think it's completely pointless to attend (on those review days).

You are the person who holds me tight and wipes my tears away when I wake up from a vivid dream. When I dance around the kitchen at midnight (while I look for snacks), you only laugh at me in the reflection of the bathroom mirror. Others would look at me like I'm a mad women and all the judgement would start from there.

I am slowly learning to come prepared with research articles and sources I can reference when we have our silly arguments over whether or not reincarnation actually happens.

All the memories and all the laughs we have consumed with each other is, and always will be, unlimited. The point is that I appreciate you more than you will ever know. Even if I say it all the time, the person you are today is the one perfect for me. Through all your flaws and moments you act like a toddler, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thank you for testing my stubbornness by being twice as stubborn.

Thank you for all your perfect smiles and the laugh I love.

Thank you for sharing the pieces of you that have never been shared with anyone else.

Thank you for telling me I'm amazingly beautiful when my hair is in a ridiculously messy bun, which I would never show to the general public.

Thank you for being you, even during the moments you drive me insane.

Thank you for never judging me for the things I say and do.

Thank you for learning to be patient with me, even on the days I make it very impossible.

I will never be able to buy you enough teas or Twix bars to repay you for all the love and acceptance you have shown me.

Not only have you taught me to look at life from so many different points of view, but you have also shown me how to be proud of myself. My eyes have been opened to seeing that even through the hardest and darkest points of our lives, we can find this crazy thing called love. I have learned, from you, that some people are worth the pain (like when you attack me with a green highlighter) and some are worth losing. You have opened my eyes to how beautiful and sometimes ugly the world can be.

Here is to the days, months and years we have ahead of us. I can't wait to see what this crazy and amazing adventure has in store for us.
