Boyfriend Appreciation Day

Today I'll try to make this a less sappy cheesy post though I have to admit I wanted to started this in old english with the line of How do I love thee let me count the ways.... I wanted to make this one since August 27 (when I saw the drafts today), and I'll finally write it as part of Nanowrimo. 

When I was randomly searching on how to deal with boyfriend arguments on the internet a few months ago I was not disappointed. When I typed "my boyfriend is" I got a list of suggestions, majority of them negative, and I found it a tad bit unfair to all the boyfriends in the world (though some may end up deserving the names they are called) to be described in such manner. Granted, I too, am guilty of writing down my thoughts when I am angry / sad but yet I never got around to sit and type about my life when I am happy, maybe because I was so into the moment of enjoying it, and I feel like its about time I actually sat down to write all the good vibes I want to send my boyfriend's way. If I can get the time to talk to him about my problems then I can also have the time to tell him when I am happy and appreciative of all the things he does. 

One of the things I liked about my boyfriend is how easy it is to get into a conversation with him. It doesn't matter what topic it is, he listens and adds his thoughts on the matter too. He makes me feel excited enough to make me want to tell him first whats the interesting thing that happened to my day, and unlike most guys he actually responds. He doesn't mind sharing what happened to his day too even the littlest details which makes me feel I was actually with him when it happened to him. 

Another thing which is probably why I love love him is how stable he is personality wise. Its like even when my own temper flares he doesn't go to immediately fight fire with fire and he doesn't mind talking all the issues out until we get to the root cause of the problem, unlike in the past where I'd get stuck in ignoring/quiet spells, cool-offs, and lets just break up over this fight thing (though I am guilty of it too). With him I can count that we are still in a relationship even if we were in a fight (and not get surprised that I'm already single because my ex told all our friends the next day at school we were already over). 

His independence and strength of character really amazes me too. To be self-supporting at such a young age, not afraid to take risks and go across countries, and to have the initiative to work to make things better considering the environment he grew up in... To me its really something. 

He makes me laugh. Damn witty this one. 

Our complimentary strengths and weak spots. 

How responsive he is. I mean he really listens to what you're saying and if there's something I am unhappy with like less time due to work, suddenly I feel like 'why is he around at this hour when he has work tomorrow?' or when conversations always get cut short, I know when he is making up for it when I get the full details the day after; and on the dangerous topic of why I hate his girl "best friend" who is a totally passive-aggressive, attention seeking, and in a need of a therapist kind of person, at the back of my head I know he has been making changes to accommodate competing interests, even if my appreciation for his efforts are lacking or sidetracked by the latest eyebrow raising thing that girl bff has done and what not.    

I have to end this short now that he is awake. Lol.
