Nicola Butler

As I get older there are little changes I notice every year. Some things are hard to accept and a bit of a bummer, while others come with maturity and are welcomed changes. Nobody can avoid getting older, but there are some things I have noticed that can help with the process. Now that I'm on the tail end of my mid 20s I'm trying to make as many changes now that will become healthy habits for when I'm older.

These boys put up with a lot from us sometimes, so always remember to tell him thank you.

2. Actually, thank you for everything you buy me, because I know I'm an expensive hobby to keep.

3. Thank you for sending me cute animal videos all the time.

4. Thank you for understanding when I cry at all of the cute animal videos (I have a lot of emotions, remember?).

5. Thank you for never making fun of me for crying over stupid things, like the Mars rover dying #RipOppy.

6. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be with me all the time.

7. Thank you for being cool with having nap dates because we're too tired from work/school to do anything else.

8. Thank you for always letting me pick what we do for our dates, even if it isn't always what you want to do.

9. Thank you for not yelling at me when I never know what I want to eat.

10. Thank you for your EXTREME patience in all aspects of our relationship, because I get it, I'm difficult.

11. Thank you for holding my hand even though I know you don't like to.

12. Thank you for going shopping with me and letting me browse every product in Sephora.

13. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on when something seriously worth crying about happens.

14. Thank you for being my rock when the world around us gets crazy and I just need someone solid to hold on to.

16. Thank you for trying, even if it's not always perfect.
