In my crazy life, I have so many things on my plate. But at the end of the day, you’re one of the most important things to me.
As much as you annoy me sometimes, I think of you as one of the best things in my life for so many reasons. You’re so engrained in my everyday routine now that I can’t imagine you not being here.
That doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten who I am though.
We’ve been together long enough for me to know that I want to be here for much longer. But I haven’t thrown away who I was without you either.
I’m the same girl, I just have someone to share things with now.
I’ve never been the type of person who completely changes herself for someone. I’ve always known who I am and what I want out of life. And I knew that if I wanted to share my life with someone I could only hope that they could accept every single piece of me.
That’s how it is with you. It’s an amazing feeling to find someone you just click with when it’s completely out of the blue. From the beginning I could tell that we could make it work, and we have.
What is so fantastic about you is you’ve made me so incredibly happy because of the space you give me. You’ve never tried to consume my entire life, you’ve just made room for yourself where you fit in best. And you let me do my own thing and you do yours.
We’re together, but we also have our own lives. If we didn’t have that, we’d probably feel like we were being suffocated which is the last thing I would ever want you to feel. But that’s not how we are.
Unlike other relationships I’ve had, you don’t take away my happiness. Instead, you add to it.
I don’t need us to be attached at the hip to know we’re together. You’re allowed to go have a bro night and I can go hang out with the girls. It’s okay to spend time apart because at the end of the day, I know that we’ll share what happened when we see each other.
I might not need to spend every single second with you, but I’ll still be your biggest cheerleader. And because we support each other so much, we know when we need our own space too.
That doesn’t mean we care about each other any less either. Alone time is healthy and actually okay. That’s why I’ll never be that girl who doesn’t let you do things on your own.
I’m so happy to be with you because you’ve never forced me to feel like I need to define myself by what we are. I learned how to be myself before you were in the picture and I like the person I am.
But I also really like the person you’ve helped me become. I know you do too, that’s why you keep helping me be the best person I can be.
