This is from me to you.

Sometimes he doesnt, or most of the time he doesnt put on his seat belt, so do it for him. When he offers you food, always take it. Even when you’re not hungry. When he puts his head down, or in his hands, that means he’s tired so let him lay his head on your shoulder. Even when his jokes dont make sense, laugh along with him. His laugh is contagious, so your laugh will end up to be legit anyways. He likes to bite, so even though it hurts like hell.. Let him do it. & Dont push him away, you’ll regret it. You must get used to him farting, because he’ll unexpectedly do it. But all you can do is laugh. Sometimes you’ll know when its coming, because he says, “hey guys, do you hear that?” At night, dont get mad at him for falling asleep when you’re talking. That means he’s had a long day, so let him rest. Dont hang up, let him snore on the phone. Never be the first to say goodnight, but be the last to say, sweet dreams. Sometimes, when he is sleeping, talk to him as if he was awake.. He secretly does the same for you, while listening to you breathe. Oh, at times he likes to text when he’s on the phone with you, but dont mind it. When he ask you how your day was, or how you’re feeling.. Give him a brief story. He likes to hear you talk. Then ask him the same questions, & he’ll go on & on if he’s had a great day. Let him brag. If his day didnt go so well, tell him.. Tomorrow is a new day. When he ask for your opionion, dont be ashamed to put some input. He’s a great listener as well. He’s going to skate & get hurt a lot. You cant stop him, thats his favorite thing to do. So before he goes out, tell him to pray. & Send him a short text to be careful, & when he gets hurt, tell him to take a break for a bit. He likes cute messages. He doesnt like to walk around hugging you from the back, so just hold his hand. If you’re ticklish, you’re going to have to give in. He likes to tickle. Make little reminders for him, stuff that he can keep in his locker, that’ll remind him to have a good day at school. He has a lot of girlfriends, like Brenda Song, Vanessa Hudgens & Amber Heard. You’ll always be like, number 6 or 7 -__- you’ll be lucky if you were number 5. If you can, have a converstation with him with British accents. It’ll be interesting. He has a lot of inside jokes with his friends, & he’ll most likely mention them to you, so laugh with him. Play slide-slide-slippety-slide with him. Go faster & faster, & try not to mess up. He likes to argue, but sometimes deep down inside he’s weak to fight.. Let him have his way. Before he wakes up, text him with sweet messages. It’ll make his day when it hasnt even begun. Before your late night phone call, make sure he finishes his homework, took a shower & brushed his teeth. Give him you’re favorite sweater &/or your favorite stuffed toy. He likes to sleep with it. Oh & make sure its a sweater with pockets. He keeps his secret stash of money in there. If ever you go swimming with him, jump in or take the first dip with him. You’ll oddly regret it if you dont. He likes to cuddle, so get a warm blanket. He likes cookies & brownies. Either bake them for him, or bake them with him. He does like to take pictures, so take some with him. But never force him when he doesnt want to. He’ll find it awkward, but put your hand on his butt & tell him you like his butt. Deep down inside, he likes it. Play pictionary with him. He’ll most likey draw Domo’s mouth or Squidward’s nose -__- When you’re in the car with him, let him play his favorite songs. Its fun to watch him sing & dance along. Sometimes he’s going to ask you to be the DJ while he drives, so pick out good songs. Give him a massage here & there. He deserves it. & When he’s not lazy, he’ll give you one. & He gives bomb ass massages. Get used to him talking about his friends as if you knew who they were. As a matter of fact, just listen to him period. Text him on a random morning, saying “goodmorning ugly.” & Take turns sending a text back & forth. It’ll be the best morning ever. Whenever you’re not near him on a starry night, & you can clearly see the moon.. Look up & tell him to look at the moon too. You’ll then feel his presence.. When he skates, get ahold of his phone or the sweater he takes off. Dont let him put it on the ground. When he sweats, trust me, you’ll adapt to his scent. When he takes a piece of your jewelry, its okay. He’ll take good care of it. Sometimes he’s going to intimidate you & make you feel insecure.. He would never mean it that way though. Its going to hurt when he tells you that he misses you.. Just tell him you’ll make up for it the second you see him. Watch Crash with him. He likes that movie. & When you cry.. Trust me, you’ll cry.. Let him wipe your tears. Watch Knocked Up & Superbad with him too. & If you can, rent The New Guy & have a movie night. & Most importantly, watch The Pineapple Express with him. Sometimes it will get annoying when he says the lines in the movie, but let him be. Sometimes he’s going to wipe your mouth like a little baby, just find it sweet. Sing a duet with him, like Lucky by Jason Mraz & Colbie Calliat. Let him introduce you to his nieces, Kayden & Erielle. You’ll get a kick outta them. The best little girls ever. When he asks you to pack his cigs for him, do it. When he asks you to shift gears for him, do it. If you dont know how, ask him to teach you. Always share your food or drink with him. Because even when he doesnt ask, he wants some. Take a set of cute pictures, he’ll copy them. & Believe me, he’ll pwn you. When you have time, make a video for him. He’ll make one too as a response. He’s going to constantly make fun of you, tease you, or randomly bring up a past embarrassing memory of you, but let him have his laugh. Watch his favorite movies with him, Oceans 11, 12 & 13. Pay attention, they’re quite confusing. If you need a favor to be done, ask him. He’ll go out of his way just for you. You’re going to often see him wear basketball shorts, with black socks that goes up to his calves. It’ll look funny, but you’ll get used to it. He has a lot of female companions.. But dont worry, they’re just jealous of you. Never doubt him, that upsets him.. Always believe in him, & trust him. When you least expect it, he’ll surprise you. When you’re feeling down, call him. He’ll be your perfect getaway. He’s always going to complain about wanting to move to San Diego, let him complain anyways. Dont let him falter when it comes to his duties in church. Attend meetings with him, attend services with him, attend actitivies with him. & Pray with him. He has goals, dreams, & ambitions. Guide him along the way, & dont bring him down. Support him. There’s no need to be shy around him, get comfortable & just be yourself. Be the first voice he hears everyday, give him a wake up call. & He’ll appreciate you even more. Write him a love letter, here & there. & Be creative. He’ll enjoy it. When you miss his call, check your voicemail. He’s bound to leave a cute message. When you’re walking, dont walk behind him & dont walk ahead of him. Stand right next to him. When you’re walking, & he bumps into you, he wants to hold your hand. When you’re walking, make sure he pulls his pants up the right way. Dont let him stick his butt out. Sometimes, just for the hell of it, he likes to look at your finger nails. Even when you dont want him to, let him look anyways. He is a rebel who follows the rules when he wants to. Dont let him do anything foolish. When he sings, dont interrupt him. When he stops, dont force him to continue. He’ll soon enough start singing again. Hug him as much as you can, squeeze tightly. & If possible, hug him a million times.. You’re going to hear stories about him. But dont judge him based on those stories. Get to know him yourself. When it comes to him, know when to be serious & when to relax. Dont take him for granted. Always have time to give him hugs & kisses. The best feeling in the world. When he is quiet, something is bothering him. & It will literally be the downfall of your day, so cheer him up. Depending on his phone, he likes to collect phone charms. Compete with him. See who gets the most. If ever you play rockband, sit on a chair right next to him & team up on the drums. He likes fudgesicles, or however you spell it. So spoil him. When you get boba, get taro with tapioca balls. He likes pho, so eat that once in a while. Read his favorite books, Looking for Alaska & Abundance of Katherines by John Green. & The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. Watch the movie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven with him. & Encourage him to read more books. He likes to watch skateboarding videos on Youtube. Sometimes he ignores you just to watch them. Let him do it. He likes to update himself & watch videos on the Berrics too. Inform yourself if you dont know what it is. Ask him to teach you how to skateboard. “Nothing beats watching your girl make a fool out of herself trying to learn your favorite hobby.” He likes Vans, Freshjive, Supreme, Stussy & etc. He’s not into the hype, he’s more laid back & whatever floats his boat. Let him be. You’re going to see him wear a teal, gray & black sweater so often. It was given to him by his bestfriend. He likes that sweater. He has guages, & likes going a size bigger. Just make sure he takes care of it, & cleans them before they get infected like before. If ever you go to his house, take your shoes off at the door & sit on the couch downstairs. Dont go upstairs, unless you’re told. Thats disrespectful. When it comes to Kayden, she’s going to bite you sooner or later. So accept it. & Treat her like a princess. When it comes to Erielle, call her “sweetie” & never call her “baby,” she doesnt like that. & At times, call her a big girl. She’s greatly mature for a three year old. Have a conversation with her. Get to know her, & let her get to know you. When its raining outside, & you have no shoes on.. He’s going to offer you to step on his shoes, so offer to slow dance. He’s a very competitive person, so compete with him. Make a few bets. In the end, just make sure to have a good laugh. He likes to drive at night, just make sure he has his seat belt on, & he’s driving at the speed limit. Once again, he likes to bite. If you want, bite him back. Sometimes his bites leave bruises, so get used to having a painful body. When you’re under the stars, hug him & let him put his arms above & around you. & Wrap your arms around his waist. You’ll feel safe. When he gets mad, give him a few seconds to cool off. He’ll be back eventually. He’s going to lose friends here & there. Stand by his side no matter what. Get used to the butterflies. When you think of him, you’ll have no choice but to blush & smile like a cheeseball. You cant help it. When he says, “goodbye,” he doesnt mean it. Its just another way to say, “goodnight,” & nothing beats hearing his voice the next day.

Let him walk into your life, & dont let him leave.
— This is the farthest I can go. The rest is for you to maintain on your own.

I wonder what love would be like if everyone was blind.

Excluding the technicalities of it all, it’s something I thought about today. If everyone in the world was blind, I wonder how love would differ. If you couldn’t pick apart someone for being too tall or too short because they don’t compliment your height. If you didn’t know to pass on the guy with long scraggly hair instead of the one with the clean cut. If the girl sitting next to you had a beautiful soul but wasn’t “your type”—but you asked her to coffee anyway because that would no longer matter. How crazy would that be?

Not saying love is only composed of physical charicteristics—because it isn’t. But if our deciding process of who we got to know was free of our physical preferences and our visual depictions of beauty and relied only on the alternate senses, would we love more? Would we love people we wouldn’t normally love? If you couldn’t see that her body was this or his face was that, how much more pure would love be?

Or perhaps it wouldn’t change it all. Perhaps this is too far-fetched to even fathom. But, I wonder. I do.
