Don't forget to appreciate those who make time for you every day. Today we often overlook simple kind gestures our boyfriends make, because they're not the "relationship goals" we see all over social media. But if you're lucky enough to find someone as amazing as I have, you'll realize you are "relationship goals"
Dear Boyfriend,
I am sorry I often overlook the simple loving things you do for me every day, I don't mean to. I just wanted to remind you, I really, truly do appreciate everything you do for me.
It's the simple "good morning" text that I have become accustomed to. It really does make my day, and if you didn't send one, that's when I would notice. I am grateful and I do look forward to seeing you have texted me every morning when I wake up. It makes me feel appreciated. The simple act of just calling me to say hello when you have five minutes of spare time, or you're on your break for work means so much to me, just to think I was on your mind and I was the one you wanted to talk to. The littlest things really do count.
Most couples today text 24/7, and that's the way they communicate if they're not in person. Thank you for picking up the phone and letting me hear your voice. Texting has never been our thing, and I'm happy I don't panic, like other girls, if their boyfriends haven't answered them in an hour. I know you're busy. We know neither of us has our phone attached to our hand throughout the day, but with that being said, it makes it even better when we finally do get the chance to talk. Hearing your voice makes everything better.
In today's society, girls expect big things from their boyfriends: expensive gifts, extravagant road trips. This is simply out of reach. Everything you get me, even if it's my piece of pizza for lunch, is enough for me. I don't need big expensive things to know you love me, because you show me you love me with emotions, not with material things. Taking me to the beach, or climbing up hills is special enough. I don't need a plane ticket to an extravagant place for a good time. Also, we both are students and don't have a steady salary, money for a fact cannot buy you the happiness that love can. You spoil me in the right way.
In my mind, we are "relationship goals." We care about each other, we trust each other, we love each other. What could be better than that? It's the fact that I can be completely myself around you and not think twice about it is "goals." You never undermine me, or make me feel any less than perfect, and it means so much to me. You mean so much to me. Not falling into society's standards isn't always easy but we make it work, we do our own things that make us happy. I love that we don't have to live up to anyone else's standards.
Like almost every couple we do fall guilty in some social media posts, because I love showing off that I am the luckiest girl ever (duh). But I don't need you to "WCW" me on every Wednesday, because you make me feel special every day. I know you care endlessly about me, and you don't have to list off those reasons to prove it to the world. I can't express it enough how thankful I am for your never making me question if you still love me, you remind me every day.
We may not be "old fashioned" when it comes to dating, but I am very happy to say I have gotten mail from you, I have gotten picked up for a date, with butterflies in my stomach, all dressed up. We do call each other, we go on random adventures and laugh endlessly together. We don't just sit home, on our phones, and say that's what dating is, because it's not.
I just wanted to remind you everything you do for me means so much to me. Thank you for being the best boyfriend in the entire world, and caring about me.
Love,
Your Girlfriend
