With Valentine's Day coming up, I can't help but feel very amorous towards my boyfriend. And it is not just Valentine's but our anniversary is coming up and I can't help but feel excited. We have been together for 8 years. Even after 8 years, I still feel like I did when we started dating. I still get butterflies when I'm with him and every little thing we do is like an adventure. I feel so lucky to have found my person at such a young age. So I decided to list 8 things I love about my boyfriend, one thing for each year. Even though there are so many things to list, I'll keep it short and sweet.


1. You're a great listener.

With being in a long distance relationship, communication is very important. And I am so grateful that my guy is an amazing listener, he pays attention to the smallest or dumbest thing I say. And not every guy is like that. He really gives me his full undivided attention.


2. You are down to have some fun.

I love my boyfriend because he is always down to go out and do something fun and exciting. Whether it is going to the theme parks, going to a state park, or just going to go and play a small game of mini golf. He is always ready to go when it comes to have a good time and create some fun together.


3. My favorite buddy to stay in with.

Just like he is down to go out and have fun. He is also always down to stay in and have a lazy day. I love that we can just chill at home and watch movies or binge-watch shows. We can just lay there, order food, and not even change our pajamas. It's one of my favorite things to do with him.



4. That you are my personal technician.

Whether it be my cell phone, laptop, iPad, or even my car. He always seems to know what is wrong with them. And I am so glad that I don't even have to go to someone else who may charge me an arm and a leg to just fix my stuff. He's always able to get it fixed right away or in a day or two.



5. Being able to trust you with anything.

He is the one I go to when I need to talk. The one who pretty much understands me the most. My boyfriend has become my personal secret keeper. He knows what irks me and what gives me joy. What makes me happy and what makes me sad. I know I can trust him with everything and anything I tell him.

(let's pretend that Mason is a puppy)


6. That he is such an amazing fur-parent.

I love how attentive he is to his dog. He shows that he genuinely loves her and cares for her. He makes sure that she is fed, bathed, and well taken care of. He makes sure he plays with her and gives her the love and affection she deserves.


7. Being the hard worker that he is.

When he works he gives his all. He makes sure that the job gets done. Not only does it get done, he makes sure that it gets done right. He takes his responsibilities seriously. And I love that about him.



8. For being my forever best friend.

Not only is he my boyfriend, he is my best friend. I seriously cannot imagine my life without him. I can't even remember a life without him. I've known him for so long, and I am so blessed that I have. He has always stuck by my side no matter the situation. He makes me laugh, he comforts me when I need it, and he knows my favorite stuff.


And these are just a few things I love about him.

But the most I love about him is that He is my best friend, boyfriend, lover, and person.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
