32.

I know I told you and a few of my friends that I don't celebrate monthsaries & that's true but I love acknowledging these monthly milestones so to my better half, happy 32nd. 

This journey that I am on with you is filled with all sorts of emotions - happiness, sadness, frustration, anger and many many more. Reminiscing all the fond memories with you from time to time makes me, or perhaps, us realise how far we've come from the beginning. A relationship isn't always filled with an abundance of joy & laughter, it is also filled with arguments & heartbreaks - ours is no different. But what makes all these setbacks worth it is the fact that we love & live bolder after each downfall. As cliche as it sounds, our love grows stronger after each fight & we understand each other better. Regardless of the number of times we clash, be it with our opinions or ego, I wouldn't want to go through this with anyone else. Someone once told me that I should only settle for a man that'd take his time to understand me & there's never a day that I regret choosing that person to be you. 

With that being said, its time I thank you for the gazillion things you've continuously done for me & us. Thank you for being all the important fundamentals I need in life, for being my strongest pillar of strength when I need it most & when I don't. Thank you so much for tirelessly showering me with so much love, care & concern every single day we've been together. Thank you for loving me for me together with my flaws & reminding me that they don't change the love you have for me nor does it changes how you feel. Thank you for always showing the love you have for me through actions that speaks louder than all the I love yous that you've said & thank you for always bringing the best out of me, encouraging me to do & be a better version of myself everyday. 

I am forever grateful to have you and am thankful to have met you when I needed someone the most. Thank you for being the best listening ear - from my heartbreak stories to embarrassingly funny ones & for being my best friend for as long as we've known each other. Thank you for channelling the inner bitchy girlfriend when I need a gossip buddy & for being an older brother I've never had when I needed to be placed in perspective before making stupid teenage decisions I might regret. Thank you for always wishing the best for me & for being the best shoulder to rest, sleep & cry my heart out on. Thank you for tolerating me when I am a complete mess & never giving up on me or us when things get really challenging to handle. I know I am head strong and probably one of the most stubborn hot headed person you've ever met but always  know that underneath all this teenage angst & crappy attitude that comes out once in awhile, is a girl that loves you with all her heart. 

You've been nothing short of  wonderful in this amazing 32 months and I am excited for 32 more months come (& of course many more). So here is to us celebrating 32 months of love & I am hoping we'll reach 32 years one day. Happy Monthsary beau, oh and thank you for always smelling super nice - am obsessed with how good you smell all the time.
