We met almost a year ago and you recognized I'm wild, full of flaws, and maybe even a bit crazy, but you're here, with me. You could have let me drift away from you, before we even got together, but held me close, at my worst.

Thank you.

Thank you for the times I needed someone to be by my side when I continually messed things up over and over again. My life can be spiraling out of control and you'd sit there holding my hand to make sure I was okay and keep me calm.

I could be sobbing on your tear-filled chest and you calmly tell me everything is okay. Not that it will be okay, but that it is okay. It's okay because I'm with you and I don't have to do everything by myself.

Thank you for the times we've drove endless miles from college to home and you've had to endure my singing and dancing the entire time. (That's if I hadn't already fallen asleep in the the passenger seat.) I can't even sing or dance, but you sit there with the biggest smile, looking back at me.

Thank you for dealing with my childish and immature ways. I know I can be a handful sometimes but thankfully, you put up with me. Even when you don't think I'm as funny as I think I am. (Which I think I'm pretty freaking funny if I must say.)

Also, thank you for continue to smile and laugh when I show you funny pictures, memes, or tell you stories over and over again. Even when I had already shown it or told it to you before. Maybe even told you twice, if we're being real.

It's incredible how you and your family could open up your home to me. You could care less to sleep on the couch and give up your bed so I'd have a place to stay. It's just a plus that you're an amazing cook and love cooking for us.

I don't tell you nearly enough how grateful and thankful I am for you. I don't know how you do it sometimes.

I'm more of a mess than my hair is when I wake up in the morning, but you're always there to ensure me I'm okay.

Sometimes, you even help me with my hair. Whether you're telling me which color or style of my hair you like and think I'm beautiful with, thank you. You'll tell me how amazing you think I look even when I assure you, I'll probably never grow my hair out longer.

Regardless if I dress like the Tom boy I am or take the time to look more professional, you continually comfort me with your compliments.

Not only do you keep the compliments flowing my way, you whole-heartily go out of your way to fish for more compliments. You make me feel beautiful. You've helped me realize how beautiful I am and you help me to embrace it all. Your constant encouragements to keep me to continue to better myself and use my potential mean the world to me.

I grew up feeling like I didn't have many people on my side, but you're here now.

Thank you for the new beginning and thank you for giving me a new home.

Now that we've moved in together (which is a big step being so young), you should know something: I'm here.

I'm here to stay. I'm here when you need me. And I'm here when you think you don't need me (The highs in your life).

Now listen to me: We've both grown up to be quite independent for ourselves.

I don't want to be independent with you. I want to be dependent with you. I want to be there for your greatest moments and your worst moments. I want to make and share so many memories with you.

I know I'm stubborn, hardheaded and maybe even irritating at times, but it's out of love. To be honest, what would you do if I was as easy going and my planning skills are? I never have a plan and I know it irritates you to the core. But it's okay. You tell me all the time it's okay.

Sometimes I'll be difficult and sometimes I'll make your life look like it's all sunshine and rainbows. I can't promise you I'll make everything perfect and the way it should be, but I can promise you I'll be here. I can promise you everything's will end up the way it's meant to be. I can promise you I'll willingly and whole-heartily give you everything I have and still want to give you more. That's what you do for someone you love, right?

Well, that's what I'll do for you.
