Most people don't know this but the date my boyfriend turns a year older is the same date that my father passed away. It's a time where I can't decide whether I'm excited cos the boyfriend is getting older, thus the sooner we can start a life together (if it's meant to be, of course) or if I should be sad cos it's another year of having to live without my dad. 

But this post is not going to be about my dad. It's about another very important man in my life. 

Yup, that's him. We got to know each other when we were nineteen, so we were pretty young and unstable. We've gone through our share of petty fights & ugly squabbles just like any other relationship. We've come close to breaking up a few times, too. I'm glad that that never had to happen. 

I've always been someone with issues. Somehow, he's been there with me through every single one of them. I know it can be a bit overwhelming, considering how young we both are. It must take a lot for him to be able to comprehend what's going on. & the above message just shows how much he's grown. I admit, I was surprised when this text came in. Previously, he would just let me cry my heart out and just physically be there, running his fingers through my hair. But now, he understands how I feel & knows what I wanna hear.

Can i be more blessed? He's not perfect, neither am I. But for him to love me no matter how much we've been through  & how much baggage I have, really means a lot to me. Also, his family has been nothing but kind. 

I have nothing but love for this man, hope you enjoyed your 22nd birthday dearest. <3
