I feel silly doing this post because I used to be so cynical about love, but now I’m in love so I’m going to be all mushy for a bit by writing a list of things I love about my girlfriend. (She doesn’t read this blog so it’s actually not so she’ll see it or something. I just feel like doing this post 🙂 )
She’s weird like me 🙂 That may not sound like a compliment, but it actually really is. I haven’t been around anyone for probably more than 10 years that I really felt I could fully be myself with like I can be with her. We can be so so stupid and silly together and I absolutely adore that about her.
She feels so good in my arms. I just feel so content when we lay in bed and I hold her and she cuddles into my chest. She’s so soft and warm and it just really makes me happy.
She accepts me as I am. She is fine with that I’m homeless, poor, disabled, and all the other things that I was made to believe no girl would accept in me.
We just match really well. We have so many similarities in the ways we want to live life, the ways we act, what we like and dislike, our beliefs, etc.
She likes to dance and enjoys dancing with me even when I don’t know what I’m doing, lol. She’s good at Salsa and other Latin dances. I am Latino and I can move, but I never have been good at learning stuff where I have to learn steps. She still enjoys dancing with me though and tells me I’m a great dancer even if I don’t know the steps 🙂
She really cares about people and wants to help others. She very much identifies with those who are oppressed and tries to understand and help.
Along those lines of what I said above, she tries to understand my experience being transgender.
We communicate a lot. She’s not someone where I have to constantly try to guess what she’s thinking. She’s open and we can discuss stuff and try to work through it.
She’s real. What you see is what you get. She doesn’t try to put on fronts. She’s just herself and I love that.
She’s dedicated to trying to work through our problems instead of just giving up when things aren’t all fun and excitement.
She’s absolutely adorable! She does these cute little dances when she’s happy and it always makes me laugh so much.
She always tells me how adorable, hot, sexy, yummy, etc. she thinks I am and of course that makes me feel super good 🙂
She taught me to believe in love. I mean, I knew that love existed. I know my ex really really loved me and he is a wonderful person, but I just can’t be with a man. I didn’t plan on looking for love though because I had become very cynical about love. I felt like it just was stupid and I still sometimes feel that way and beat myself up for falling in love, but it’s just my fears of intimacy. But loving my girlfriend has made me finally understand what people are talking about when they talk of being in love. It has made me actually start hearing love songs and thinking of her (though I still tend to think I’m an idiot for it). It’s made me think that maybe being in love is actually real and maybe I could actually want to work out a relationship and stay with one person. And I do feel so silly saying all this, but I’m making myself say it anyway because I know I need to stop being so cynical. But I just feel like, whatever happens with our relationship, now I know what it’s like to be in love and I know how good it feels and I know it’s real, and that’s kind of nice, though it also means more chance of getting hurt. And I do hope that our relationship will last because we’re just really good for each other I think.
Love, Mi
