-Seeing her interact with my family and friends, how kind and respectful she is, how she instantly got along with everyone. How nice she is to animals as well! How much care and love she puts into the things she does for others.

-How smart she is!!! She is so quick minded for making remarks and jokes, so eloquent and such a good writer, she is really good with words overall. Also she is so curious about the world in general, and that is always amazing to see. I love asking her things and debating with her and learning together.

-She's a really patient person and that brings me so much peace. Back at the beginning, I wasn't sure about starting a relationship (and i was shitty to her bc of it) because my head and life were in a very weird place and I was not ready to exist as a lesbian lol. Through this mess she was really patient and gave me the space and time to find everything out, reassured me a million times, waited for me and didn't pressure me into anything.

-This one sounds practical and not romantic but she is a very responsible person in the way she manages her space, takes really good care of her belongings, is very methodical about things like food prep, house organization, cleanliness and personal care and I am the complete opposite so I'm very lucky to have someone who is like this 😅

-When we started dating we were already roommates (together 24/7) and then we had to do long distance for months. So I got a taste of what life is like when she is near and when she isn't. We managed to grow together and separately, and it sounds dumb and gay but everything is enhanced, better, more worthy when she is there. Life is just more fun, more warm, less scary. Obviously we've had our tough moments too just like every other couple, but my life is better when she's in it, always.
