Sunny days are happy days

Seeing how far I've come, I do still look back to the past and miss them a little but that's where they'll stay, in the past where it belongs. Brighter days are here and these are the days that remind me of how much more there is to life; seeing people laugh, watching people fall in love, eating our favourite food and having friends who matter. It's those little bits of everything that give you that positive outlook on life, showing you how much more you can be, how much more you can do.

Sitting here at this new cafe, watching people walk by gave me a sense of calmness and relaxation. I began thinking a lot but I just can't put them into words. Anyway ignoring all that irrelevance, it was a rare sunny day in Manchester when my friend and I stopped by this new little cafe. It's called Takk Coffee which opened recently at Hatch, along Oxford Road, Manchester. Hatch has a really cute and dreamy kind of atmosphere, definitely good for photos! The cafe, has this really aesthetic, minimalist sort of vibe which was also a really nice place for photos.

I had the matcha latte which was great because it didn't have that bitter green tea taste which you get in some of the matcha lattes. I had it with a slice of carrot cake which had a nice cinnamon taste to it, topped with 'a little too sweet' icing. They served other sorts of pastries too which I did not get a shot of because of the sudden lunch crowd.  BUT I would definitely be back again just to sit and relax from life because I believe we should always give ourselves a break before we actually break hehe! So if you wanna try this place out and don't have anyone to go with you, just hit me up! 

Lots of love,

xx

2 Years with bae x

Does that sound long to you? It's been 2 years of a hell of a ride. If I had to go back and go through all of that again, I still would.

If you've read my last post, you already know how my boyfriend and i met. It's been 2 years now since we were official. Within these 2 years, we've both definitely changed ; the way we think, the way we look at people, the way we see things, and maybe even our attitudes. Of course we fight like every other couple, but the best part is after our fights we end up loving and understanding each other more. Sometimes we're both just super stubborn and stuck with our own ways, which leads to us fighting but after that, we learn of ways to tolerate each other and try to understand how we think. Fighting with each other is only normal. I didn't know that until I heard from my friends (haha soz newbie here). Yes, we've sometimes hurt each other with the things we say but after every single time, we'd feel remorseful of our words and apologise. Sometimes it's me, sometimes it's him.

Haha, I'm a girl with cray cray mood swings ( opps soz babe ), I know it's not easy to tolerate me cause I can be super sensitive one moment, and a crazy jealous bitch  the next. But no, that hasn't drove him away, he's still here telling me how pretty I am. He's a guy but that doesn't mean he doesn't get to sulk or get jealous. In fact, guys get jealous more than girls sometimes! Sometimes, even though it's not your fault, it's okay to apologise and spoil your guy. He needs to be spoiled too SOMETIMES. My boyfriend likes to make me learn how to be independent and observant of things around me cause he won't always be there to look out for me, especially when I go overseas.

Being in a (serious) relationship isn't all just about gifts and surprises, I've learn that in my first few months. I know us girls want gifts, surprises, flowers and all that but let's be realistic, guys who aren't working are spending their parents' money that's supposedly their allowances. I think it's a little unfair for guys to pay for everything when you're on a date cause that's kinda stereotypical isn't it? I mean guys, that doesn't mean you expect your girl to get the bill without asking them or not surprise them. You can always save up to spend on each other once a while. It's only fair if you spoil each other equally don't you think? A relationship is suppose to give you the motivation to work harder in life, to reach the goals you've set for the both of you and constantly supporting each other.

Being with him for 2 years now has made me angry a lot, cry a lot, get frustrated a lot, but also smile and laugh like an idiot. It's true how he can control my moods, only he can make my bad day good. Dependent a little I guess but that's just how it is. We affect each other's moods, when he's having a bad day mine becomes bad too, vice versa. I think we've taught each other a lot and have become more matured together. Even after these 2 years, I still miss him when I'm not seeing him, even though he just left a few mins ago. I still want to talk to him and see him every moment I can. And now with the slight distance, I miss him even more and more when he's away. I'll still take every opportunity to see him. If we went back in time to when I first fell for him, I'd fall again.

I don't know if we'll last forever but I'll always love you bae, my first and hopefully my last. Maybe LDR in the future is gonna be hell and shit, but maybe we'll be strong enough to keep going together many many more years to come. A rough patch is JUST a rough patch it can be overcome. I'm eternally grateful to have you and no one else. Thank you for all you've done, all the patience you've had to keep this going. Here's to more years of enormously filled blissful memories together. x

(sorry for so much of cheesiness!!)
