All The Ways That He Makes Me Feel Special

With Valentine’s Day looming, it got me thinking about all the ways he makes me feel special all year long. 

He tells me he loves me

I am so lucky to get endless messages telling me how proud he is of me. That he has made it safe to wherever he is going and that he loves me. He tells me that I work so hard, and that he is in awe of that. He talks about all the things I do and I see that he is proud. I have heard him talk about me when I’m not in the room and I can hear the love coming from his voice. 

His surprises

It’s not everyday but he shows me that he’s thinking of me in so many ways. He brings me lunch when he knows I have had a hard day and the last thing that I wanna do is make food. He sees little things like my refills for my Burt’s bee pop socket. He finds gifs that make me smile. He know how to make me slow down and bring me back to reality.  

Date Night

He is always down for a date night. He’s always down for my ideas for date night. Whether it’s a family date where we all go for a walk in the park, or we are having date night in he is down to go get our favorite dinner and snuggle up on the couch. He is even willing to get dressed and head out with me if that’s what I want. He still puts the effort in and that’s all that matters. It’s one of the many ways he shows me how much he cares. 

He’s willing to make my store runs for me

Having a busy girlfriend isn’t easy. It means that there are times that I have to relay on him to make my store runs for me. Whether I’m at work and he has to make a Target run for tampons or I need him to hit the grocery store because I just cannot go back out again and we need chicken he’s right there. 

Snuggle time

Snuggling with no strings. Which usually leads to me falling asleep. Let’s be real sometimes we just need to cuddle and feel safe. I have to say my man is amazing in this department. He usually knows that I need him, and he is happy to oblige. He turns a movie on and wraps his arms around me and before you know it I’m asleep. I usually wake up to him smiling down at me. It’s the best feeling in the world. 

None of these things are earth shattering. None of these things are life changing, except that they are. These are the things he does mostly on a daily basis to show me that he loves me. Maybe that is why I don’t need a holiday to celebrate our love! 

Happy Valentine’s Day C, I love you. But don’t get me anything! Let’s celebrate our love everyday instead!

Loving A Survivor

Loving a Survivor

Surviving an assault is one of the hardest things to go through personally. However, I think loving a survivor is probably the second hardest part. There are a lot of moving parts in recovering, and it is a journey that is going to have a lot of ups and a lot of downs. It takes a strong person to help love someone through this journey. So this is a little appreciation post to those who love us through the journey of recovering. Those who love us from victim to survivor. 

 

You are understanding

This is a journey that has been one of me trying to figure out how to put the pieces back together. I know that sometimes it probably feels that my life is all consumed by this journey. It probably is. However, you never make me feel like I am wrong for putting myself first. You are always so supportive whether that means holding me when I want to fall apart, or just having a chill day doing something fun because I need to be out of my head. 

 

You Listen

Although I have never told you what exactly happened because I am just not there yet, you listen to me vent. I dance around the issue but that does not seem to bother you. You sit there and listen to my worries and troubles. After you give me a hug and you never make me feel like I am crazy.
