Maybe it's because I have Spring Fever or something, but I have been feeling especially grateful for my boyfriend the last little while. We are not without our problems - we have some issues we're trying to work through - we're doing pretty good at it I think - and I know I have done my share of complaining about what a lout he is so I decided the best way to counter that (because lets face it, I'll complain about him soon) is to express my gratitude with the same frequency I express my complaints.
Anyway, who cares? I shouldn't have to justify loving my boyfriend. This is my motherfucking blog.
So sometimes he does or says something that almost brings me to tears because I can tell just how bloody much he adores me. I can't explain it to you but I can see it in his eyes, corny as that may sound.
So today, we're out for lunch and we're talking about a referendum that just happened at my school and he tells me I should get involved in student politics because I'd be really good at it. I tell him no way would I be really good at it, because, "...they're all way smarter than me anyway." He got so angry! I was like "Why the anger?" and this is what he said...
"Because I love you so much and I think you're the smartest person there."
Now okay, I realize this is akin to your Mom telling you you're the prettiest girl in the world, but there it was - the look on his face - he meant it. I can tell. I was bashful and honoured and felt really loved. It is irrelevant that the real reason I don't get involved is because I think I'm too old. My boyfriend adores the shit out of me and thinks I'm super smart. And for that, I am grateful.
