10 Reasons I Appreciate My Non-Perfect Boyfriend
Brianta M Diming

Being in a new relationship is always fun and can be very exciting, but when you've had bad luck with relationships, you're thankful to have a great one.

I cannot express what I feel when I’m with you, you give me a happiness I have been looking for and I’m not ashamed to say it. When you came into my life I was very unhappy and it felt like a drought; nothing was exciting to me anymore. No guy and no amount of fun could fill that void that was there. I started to have a depressing vibe about me. I didn't notice it, but others did, and that was scary for me. But that all changed as November of 2015 approached.

I saw you pop up in my 'People you may know on Facebook', my fancy was tickled and I couldn’t help but send that request. As time moved on, I posted things hoping you would even interact with them. I almost gave up, but luck was on my side. My very last attempt was a “to be honest” status and all my prayers were answered. You liked it, I was so excited! This was the moment I was hoping for and from there, our story started. We texted, flirted, we even went old school and talked on the phone. I started to feel something I haven’t before. That tingle I got in the pit of my stomach that I couldn’t control. I didn’t know then but it was the feeling I had been searching for.

After little over a month, we made the decision to start “dating” on the first day of the new year. As we continued our relationship I begin to feel like I was changing, I was never the type to be lovey dovey. I was all about no affection, but you broke down that wall fairly quick. I learned a thing about you that would make most girls run away, I looked at it as a challenge; you weren’t that person that people tried to tell me you were. You were actually the complete opposite: Sweet, Kind, Goofy, and not to mention a country boy at heart!

Now here are the 10 reasons why I appreciate my non-perfect boyfriend:

  1. You love me for me! I never have to act as if I was someone else for you to fall for me.
  2. You support me! You are one of my biggest cheerleaders!
  3. You deal with my crazy attitudes like a champ!
  4. That you always tell me I look beautiful (even when I blatantly don’t!).
  5. We argue about who loves who most!
  6. How you can get me out of a bad mood (even if it’s you who put me in it).
  7. How you still get shy about things.
  8. The way you laugh when I tickle you (because you are trying so hard not too lol.
  9. The way I feel safe when I’m with you.
  10. How you’ve helped me remember who I really am, not who other people want me to be.

These are a few things about my boyfriend that always make me happy. These reasons don't necessarily make or break our relationship. They are just a few reasons I love my boyfriend. He is no angel nor is he even close perfect but he’s the best thing that happened to me so far. And I can’t wait for us to grow old together .

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.
