I will not apologize for being best friends with my boyfriend. We've been together for 2 years next month and I couldn't be more grateful. Yes, we've had our ups and downs, but he stuck by my side through it all. Many of my friends turned away from me but he's been there for me through it all, and if they were my real friends, they would've never walked away. He supports me through nursing school and is my number one backbone through the walk of life. He encourages me to take risks and not be afraid of failing. He picks me up when I'm down and he is always there to offer his shoulder to cry or lean on. He's never doubted me and he always shows me the good side to the bad. He has made me a better person and makes me feel like I have a purpose in life. He gives his best advice when I ask for it (although I never listen). He understands me more than I understand myself. He is always there to calm me down during my anxiety attacks even though he may hate me for it. He's my best friend and I will never apologize for being best friends with my boyfriend because I truly love him and always will.
