I promise the adventures will never stop and we can continue to explore for as long as we live. I’ll never tell you there is a mountain too high for us to climb. I’ll always say yes to road trips and be okay with getting lost...I’ll love you through all the ups and downs, and bumpy roads we will…

I want to go out of my way to make you happy because your happiness is in fact my happiness.
I’ll love you with all my heart and make sure you know you’re the only one I care about. I’ll make you feel safe and secure around me, like when we’re together the world can’t touch us. I’ll always keep your promises and won’t wager your trust. I want you to know you can always count on me to be…
I want you to be the compass to my map, always being there to guide me and give me a sense of direction, while still being wild and free with me.
I don’t just want to do the typical every day kind of life with you. I want to get lost with you, explore with you, and wander to unfamiliar places with you.
I want to drive aimlessly hand in hand, on back roads without a plan. I want the windows down and warm summer air ripping through the windows as it whips our hair around and we can’t help but laugh. I want to play the music as loud as it goes and sing our lungs out and get lost in the lyrics and…
Even though you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not real.
I believe it’s time to stop pushing through the pain and start treating mental health like we would a torn hamstring.
We’re taught to push through everything. We’re taught that in the ‘real world’ at a job it wouldn’t fly, you’d still have to get up and go to work, even if you were upset, and that we’re just being prepared for the ‘real world.’ But in the ‘real world’ you get sick days. You get time off when you’re…
I know you can’t promise much right now, but please promise me this – promise me you’ll hang in there because I can promise you things will get better.
I’ll never judge you for crying in front of me or anyone else. I know you can’t help it, I know there are certain triggers that just break you down into pieces and it’s okay.
I want you to know it’s okay to be vulnerable. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for being who you are. Some people will never understand depression; they will never understand how you can go from being completely fine to feeling so empty. They will tell you to ‘cheer up’ and to ‘get over it,’ but…
It’s a small gesture, but ask her about her day. Ask her if she did anything she’s proud of. Ask her if she had anything exciting happen to her or what the best part of her day was. Keep it positive and let her know you care.
Don’t ever go to bed without kissing her goodnight and never leave her without kissing her good morning, even if she’s still sleeping when you leave.
Send her dirty texts. Do it when you’re both at work, or when one of you is home waiting for the other person. Make her feel desired and wanted. Keep the sexual desire burning.
I know deep down when you’re upset that you know this isn’t as good as it gets. I know you know you could do better, but you’re scared to leave. You’re scared to start over because starting completely over and leaving a life and person you’re accustomed to is a scary thing.
I’ll never tell you how to live your life, but I think you know deep down that you’re better than him and I hate to see you settling for a mediocre life instead of a life that is filled with pure bliss and happiness.
I know you love him with all your heart and he loves you, too. The only difference is all the love in his heart still isn’t enough.
