I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't met you, honestly. I go through all these different scenarios in my head and I just think to myself, 'I'm so glad my life turned out the way it did. There are so many people in this world, I can't believe I found the right one.' Here are some things I've been dying to tell you but didn't know how to.

Thank you for choosing me. I know that sounds lame, but seriously. Like I said, there are so many people in this world and you chose this mess. I don't know how you do it because I can hardly put up with myself at times. Yet, you went out of your way to accept me into your life, flaws and all, and you still love me. It is the best feeling to know that you not only are stuck with me, but you want to be.

Thank you for channeling your inner child with me. I never thought I'd meet anyone as weird as I am until you came along. We can burst into epic duets and then walk away like nothing happened. I have the best times with you because I can be myself, and that is the best feeling in the world.

Thank you for encouraging me. I don't know how you did it, but somehow you broke the barrier of my stubborn mind and taught me a few things about myself I never knew. You always encourage me to chase after the things I love. You show me how to love myself. You've helped me become braver, kinder, more understanding and much more.

Thank you for believing in love. This is such a rare thing for our generation, as so many people are busy chasing down hookups, but you'd rather chase after me. You believe that a future is possible, and you've helped me to dream about so many possibilities in life.

Thank you for all of the time you spend with me. There is nothing more valuable in this world than time, and you've given a large percentage of yours to me, and I am beyond grateful. I know I can call you up when I need help studying, a gym buddy, someone to run errands with or an all around partner in crime. I don't know who else would eat three pizzas at once with me without any slight judgement.

Thank you for learning to love the things I love. You actually listen to me when I tell you about my favorite shows, and you make a point to try them all out. You listen to my music, all the time, and sometimes you even sing along. You've read books with me and painted with me. Looking back on it, I don't know how I talked you into all of those things.

Most of all, thank you for trying. I know I get on your nerves, and I know I push your buttons. I know I mess with you all the time just to get under your skin. Yet each and every day you make an effort. You show me time and time again how I was wrong to think I'd never find someone who loves me nearly as much as I love them.

We have had our ups and our downs. We've laughed until we cried and we've cried until we laughed about how ridiculous we can be at times. Though there has been pain, we've made it through with much more joy.

Thank you for changing my life.
