A Thank You Letter To My Significant Other

Because sometimes, 'I love you' just isn't enough.

A Thank You Letter To My Significant Other
Caitlin Barfield

I wish there were enough, or any, words in the English language to truly describe what it’s like to be in love. Every person has a different experience and feels different things, yet we all describe it with one word: love. We all confine and conform to say ‘I love you’, but sometimes I love you just isn't enough. Love is like a sudden rush of air. It’s as if your chest is swelling and your heart just feels. It is the definition of bliss. It is warm and painless. It is a genuine smile and a hearty laugh. It’s like suddenly nothing matters, and I would have never been able to feel that without you.

Thank you for being there for me every single day. Thank you for loving me unconditionally, even when I felt I was undeserving. Thank you for making me shed tears of happiness and not of grief. Thank you for rushing to my side when I needed you the most no matter what time of day it was. Thank you for truly understanding me as a person. Thank you for giving me life. Because of you, I’m going to have a husband and a family one day. How many people can say they found their soul mate so early on?

Thank you for making me smile every hour of every day, for showering me with love and affection, for trusting me, for making me genuinely laugh, for brightening up my day, and all of the little things you do for the benefit of our relationship. Thank you for being a Godly man.

No matter how many 'I love you's I say or smiles I give, you'll never understand how much you mean to me. Even when the world is coming down on one or both of us, you always remind me that we'll get through it together. I knew you were the one the day I said yes to being your girlfriend. Through the bad days and the good days, I have never doubted for a second how much I love you, and I've never doubted how much you love me.

Over the years, I've watched you grow as a person and I can truly say you are the most spectacular person I have ever met. There's no such thing as perfection, but you come pretty close. I love you. Always.

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.
