I cannot begin to express how proud I am of this man. You took control of your life and did the thing you always wanted to do. I cannot wait to be there for you at your graduation from basic training and celebrate the new chapter of your life with you. You taught me an invaluable lesson in you leaving, and I’ve been working hard to become the man you deserve - I was such a mess before, I expected too much and did way too little. I thought I deserved the world handed to me on a silver platter, but things don’t come without work, and I placed all the work on you. I’ll never make the mistake of under-appreciating you again, and I’ll never put more expectation on you than I’m willing to place on myself. There’s no one else I’d rather do life with, and I’m hoping we can do it right, in time. I love you so much, Steven.. just as you are, and as everything you’re going to be. Always and forever, my beañ. ♥️ #diaryofagayboy #bootcamp #Navy #basictraining #lighthouse #lakemichigan #boyfriends #imissyou #iloveyou #mybeañ https://www.instagram.com/p/Brjfk7qBJZ1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5eje1el68n1u
