To the New Boy Dating the Girl with Anxiety and Depression,

THANK YOU. Thank you for accepting me as I am, for not making me feel as though I need to change to be better for you. It's been awhile since I've been this happy, and it's all thanks to you. The time that I've spent with you has been such an eye opener for me. You see all the good in the world around you, which I'm so grateful includes me. I'm learning to focus on my good qualities, and you are helping me learn that lesson. I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me, simply by being you.

You say that you are lucky, and I would have to agree. When we met and became friends, I was broken, a hollow shell of what I used to be. It's been several months since we first met, and I've had time to take care of myself and to learn to love myself. You are lucky that we started dating when we did, because I was closer to being whole than I was back then. I still don't feel completely whole yet, but since I started dating you, I have taken huge steps in that direction. So really, I am the lucky one. I feel like I'm getting the better end of the deal. I hope you don't mind!

Thank you for all that you do for me. Thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for changing my world.
