Because sometimes "thank you" just isn't enough

An Open Thank You Letter To My Boyfriend
Brianna Doonan

Dear boyfriend,

When I first met you, I had no idea how much you'd mean to me. You were just another classmate of mine and a very quiet one at that. Yet somehow, you stumbled into my not so picture perfect life and made it better. Through all the laughter, the tears, and the memories, you've become a huge part of my life. This past year and a half, you not only made me a better person, but you also loved me for who I am.

Sometimes "thank you" just isn't enough, so here goes nothing!

1. Thank you for always supporting me

Thank you for being my cheerleader, my shoulder to cry on and even the person who picks me up when I'm feeling down. You always support me in my decisions and believe in me.

2. Thank you for listening to me

I know I tend to go on and on about certain things, but thank you for always listening to me. Whether it's about school, work, current events or even people, you never refuse to listen to what I have to say.

3. Thank you for all of the hugs and kisses

Even if it has been an hour since we last saw each other, thank you for all of the hugs and kisses you give me. I love them all so much!

4. Thank you for buying me many, many meals

If we were to add up all of the money we spent on food, we would probably come up to about $1.000+. So thank you for always offering to pay for the meals. (Even if I say I'm not hungry).

5. Thank you for letting me sleep on top of you

I know a human head may not be the most comfortable thing on your chest or arm, but it sure comfortable for me. Thank you for also having lazy days with me.

6. Thank you for all the little trinkets

I always told you that you didn't need to buy me Michael Kors or Kate Spade to make me happy. So thank you for showing up my house with cute, little cheap trinkets just to see me smile.

7. Thank you for always letting me cry

Whether it's stress crying, sad crying, happy crying or just crying, thank you for always letting me do it in front of you. (Thank you for the forehead kisses that follow afterwards, too)

8. Thank you for always letting me take the first bite (and the last bite)

I know the first bite can be the best bite, so thank you for letting me take it. Even if it's the juiciest burger you've ever laid eyes on!

9. Thank you for teaching me not to stick my nose up at certain things

This is a big one and something that I will always take from this relationship. You taught me that not everyone shares the same interests as me and that is okay to try new things. I am not a fan of change, but thankfully, you taught me that change is okay and that it doesn't hurt to try.

10. Thank you for being so selfless

You are so selfless and I admire that greatly. You always put someone else's needs before yours, or always willing to help a friend out. I love that about you and I hope that some of that rubs off on me.

11. Thank you for working so hard at what you do

Going to work at 8am and then sitting in the sun for hours straight isn't always the easiest, but I applaud you for doing it every day. You showed me how to be a hard worker and how important responsibility is.

12. Thank you for the endless cuddles

Whether we cuddle for 5 minutes or 5 hours, thank you for always being down to cuddle.

13. Thank you for always telling me how it is

While it may not be easy for me to hear, I'm glad that you're not afraid to tell me how it is.

14. Thank you for all of the great laughs and memories

Since we started dating in April of 2015, you have given me so many great memories. From graduating together, to our first Christmas together and going to Disney World for our one year, you have given me so many great memories. I cannot wait to create more with you!

15. Thank you for always taking me shopping

I know this task isn't all that fun for you, but I am so thankful that you'll put up with it for me.

16. Thank you for being you

From your head to your toes, you are you and i am so grateful that someone like you has stumbled into my life.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
