In 3 months time, it will be 2 years since I met Joe (you can read how in one of my first blog posts) and I am still 100% in love with him just as I was in the beginning and I'd like to share 10 very soppy reasons why. In no particular order...
1. His smile. Oh my gosh, his smile is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It makes me weak at the knees every time he smiles or laughs... *sighs*
2. His big heart. He is one of the kindest and most generous people I've ever met. He will give up almost anything to make other people happy and it constantly blows me away when I witness it. (I will also add his sensibleness and reliability into this one as I think they all interlink)
3. His eyes. They don’t have a specific colour which I think makes him really unique. Depending on the lighting, they can either be blue, brown or a greeny-brown- I sometimes wonder if this relates with the fact he is a bit colour blind.
4. His passion for the environment and other global issues. He is very mature and conscious with the daily decisions we make that have or have had an effect on the environment. E.g. he can be descried as 'a recycling-Nazi' at the best of times!
5. Although he doesn't have career goals yet, he is very driven to achieve things and become the best person he can. I have always been in huge admiration of him for that. For example, he is the only student I know (I'm not saying other people don't but I don't know any!) that actually attends extra sessions offered to him at Uni such as The Global Challenge where he recently found out he has a passion for learning Chinese! So watch out for that!
6. His intelligence. He is much cleverer than me in many ways. I often wonder how someone so young can know so much about so much!
7. His height. I like that he is tall. It makes him a very good hugger and useful for things on high shelves ;)
8. His patience. I can be quite fiery sometimes and he has taught me to take things slow and not let things bother me. I don't always succeed but his level- headedness, kindness and patience gets me through anything :)
9. His shyness. He can be coy in public and doesn't like going out drinking or partying (which is a good thing). He's very mature :)
10. His love for me. I know this is an obvious one because we're a couple but I feel so loved every day. The way he looks at me, the way he wants to hold my hand on the sofa (but never in public haha) and the way he makes me laugh are just some of the ways he makes me feel so loved.
One more for luck!
11. I've always loved that we share the same life goals. Without being too generalising, I don't know many gay guys that want marriage, monogamy, kids, a house in the country with a flowered garden, vegetable patch and a white picket fence. The stuff that dreams are made of!
Sorry for being soppy. Thanks for reading!
