You don't really know what real love is until you've met someone comparable to yourself. Someone who doesn't judge you or see's you for who you are and not for what they want you to be. I have never really given myself the opportunity to be loved the way I should be because I was always scared of being hurt or betrayed. I was never so sure if I should go through with giving someone my attention or my time. I never wanted to waste my time or give it to the wrong person. Sometimes you let yourself slip and this does happen but sometimes you have to take that leap of faith and give someone the benefit of the doubt, and that is what I did.

I let him in and I gave him the opportunity to love me, care for me, and prove to me not all men are the same. And that is exactly what he did. Men will be men but he's not like them all. I do not know anyone as caring and as loving as someone like my guy!

But this is what real love is. It is taking chances and doing something you've never done before. It is loving unconditionally and forgiving and forgetting. Real love is when you love him and he loves you no matter what flaws you come with.

I do have to say, though, real love comes with much more than being loyal and accepting someone for who they are. It's making sure they are okay when they are sick and risking getting sick just to make sure they are okay. It's going out of your way to meal prep for him because he's working out and trying to lose weight. It's taking them out to dinner on Friday night because they had a crazy week at work and you just want to enjoy their company and the favorite foods you love. It's trying to do your hair in the morning but the other person has to use the bathroom and they don't care if you're in the bathroom too. It's making sure they have their favorite chocolate covered strawberries just because. It's farting and burping and not caring because you just find it funny and can't get mad. It's staying in on the weekends and binge watching Netflix and eating pizza. It's shopping and buying each other things just because you want to. It's giving foot massages and back massages because you know they've had a long day at work. It's good morning and good night text messages. It's missing each other after you saw that person 2 seconds ago. It's supporting them at their worst and at their best.

I could keep going on and on and on about what real love really is and you would probably be reading for hours. But I couldn't imagine my love life any other way with anyone besides the most amazing boyfriend I could ever ask for on the face of this earth. He has really taught me what real love is and I couldn't imagine this life any other way.

Thank you for everything you do and for showing me how much you love me in more ways than one!

I love you!
