In a world of technology and egocentric people, its hard to find a person that genuinely cares. A person who cares for you in a way that is not just hitting you up on the weekend or texting you on major holidays. A person that actually wants to hangout with you in person or grab lunch. I am forever grateful for your existence and cannot thank you enough:

For showing me that I am beautiful. In this day and age, it is so simple to get caught up in negativity. Receiving minimal likes on Instagram and not matching with the cute guy that you just swiped right on can make you feel like trash. It is easy to forget who we are and forget about all the amazing qualities we possess, however, you have relentlessly brought out the best in me. Making me feel amazing. I cannot truly but into black in white how thankful I am for that.

For showing me what it feels like to be cared for. Its easy to get involved with negative people. Easy to get caught up in things or people that do not fully respect our time. Easy to forget to put ourselves first and even remember to take care of ourselves. You remember the little things. Brightening my day from the time I wake up with a simple text. Making sure that after a night out that I made it home ok and offering to call an Uber when I am alone. Your little actions of care speak to the mountains.

For bringing out the best in me. This is straight cheese but, its true! Your small jokes make me laugh immensely. You make me happy and I don't mean temporary happiness. Your sense of humor is something that attracts everyone. Your happiness and love for life is the kind that brings out joy in everyone.

For dealing with my negativity. You are an optimist, I can be a pessimist most of the time. Your optimism always effortlessly makes every situation much better. You push my negative thoughts and sometimes actions away in a breeze. You let me vent about the awful things that life has to offer but never let me lose sight of how many positive and great things are actually going right.

For always knowing the right thing to say. Because like any other girl, I can be sensitive. When I am upset or angry, you always know the right thing, even if it is a single word. You always turn my frown upside down in awful situations.

So here is to you, the truly amazing being that I am so lucky to know, for being you. Being an stellar, honest and trustworthy person that brings tremendous joy to not only myself but everyone you know.
