20 Thank Yous That My Boyfriend Deserves

c1.staticflickr.com

Throughout the time spent with my boyfriend, we have encountered many obstacles ranging from my transition from male to female, the distance between us, and my eating disorder. Like any other couple we have our bad days, but overall I would say the good days overpower the negative experiences we face. In any long-term relationship, I believe it can become difficult to show appreciation for what our spouse does for us because we grow used to having unconditional support and love from this person. Although I also believe that this is a key factor in a stable healthy relationship. If it is neglected it can often cause the other party to feel as if they do not matter or the person no longer wants to be with them. It's not every day that I thank my boyfriend for all he has done for me. If the person reading this article has a spouse, I hope that after reading this they can be more mindful of all they help each other through.

So, thank you for...

Validating my gender identity and fighting for who I am more than I am capable of sometimes.

Visiting me in the eating disorder unit.

Refusing to let me isolate myself.

Making sure I eat regularly.

Giving me the opportunity to experience my first Philadelphia Folk Festival.

Helping me with my weekly testosterone shots.

Loving me when I was in a messed up living situation.

Protecting me from myself.

Dealing with my thrift shopping, folk punk, and political obsession.

Sitting through dull Planned Parenthood appointments.

Getting me through my flashbacks/meltdowns.

Trying to teach me that my past trauma is not my fault.

Guiding me through Persona 5, and helping me cheat.

Making weird food with me

Allowing me to do your makeup

Not being ashamed of me

Tolerating me constantly pushing you off the bed, and stealing our blanket.

Finding my morbid sense of humor funny.

Respecting me as a person and the decisions I make.

Being one of the kindest souls I've met.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
