An Open Letter To My Boyfriend

I couldn't get through this life without you!

An Open Letter To My Boyfriend
Bailey Parrish

First of all, I just want to start by giving you the biggest cyber hug ever. You are truly a gift and I have no idea where I would be without you. You are always there, no matter if that is just to be a shoulder to cry on or to take me to dinner when I am having a bad day. I also want to say that I could not imagine life with anyone else but you. You are so special to me and I never even knew what love was until I met you… As cliche as that sounds.

Thank you for introducing me to new things. I am a better version of myself with you and I definitely would not watch some of the things I do or do some of the things I do without your persuasion. You always pick me up when I am down and encourage me to get out and experience what the world has to offer.

I also would like to thank you for everything you do for me. Whether it is taking me on a great trip or taking me to a beautiful place to just sit and talk, you always know the right things to do that make me happy. I love the letters that you write for me and the way you always have the right words to say even when they can be painful to hear sometimes.

I thank God every day for giving me such an ambitious, wonderful, caring, intelligent, responsible man. Even when we have a disagreement, we come out stronger than before and that is important to me. If you aren’t willing to put time and effort into your relationship even when times get tough, then, what is the point of being in a relationship to begin with? Being with you makes me stronger as a person and gives me a higher level of confidence.

I am also thankful for all of the little things that you do for me, like giving me a jacket when I am cold, sitting with me at lunch when I have no one else to sit with, running to the store to get me Cheez-Itz at 4 a.m. just because I wanted them, or even just sitting in my room listening to me talk about everything I am interested in because we both know that I can talk someone’s ear off.

I am so grateful to be in a relationship with someone willing to deal with the darkest side of myself. You love me even on my worst days and support me even when I feel like no one else is there. We have been through so much in this past 20 months and I could not imagine doing life with anyone else by my side.

You are great. You are wonderful. You are kind. You are supportive. You are there for me. You are respectful of me and my feelings. You cherish our relationship. You respect my opinion. You are always there in the blink of an eye when I get into trouble. You are everything I could ever want and more and being with you just gives me something to look forward to in this crazy world we live in today.

I owe you the biggest thank you and all of the hugs and kisses in the world for what you have done for me. Words cannot even begin to express how much you mean to me and I promise I will always be there for you when you need me! Thank you for being the best partner in crime ever and giving me the best couple of years I could ever imagine. I can not wait to see what the future holds for us!

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.
