"What's my favorite movie?" you might ask. I'd answer, "Elf" in less than a second and a half. It puts me in a GREAT mood no matter what season it is (yes, I watch it in July if that was what you were wondering). Not only is Will Farrell a fantastic actor, but also the script is just full of classic, humorous lines. How often do you find yourself laughing at a joke you've heard numerous times? I. Love. Elf. No questions asked.
Want to know what I love more than Elf?
Of course you do.
My boyfriend.
I'm in love with Erik John Roti. He is the nicest, most genuine, hilarious, goofy, crazy (in a good way), silly, wonderful guy I know.
Erik is the type of guy who gave me back my confidence. He is the guy that let me believe in myself and showed me that there is more than me than what is on the surface. Without him I wouldn't be the girl I am today.
It's weird to think that we've been dating for only almost four months. I feel like it's been almost four years. Which it has been if you think about it (we've been FLIRTY friends since freshman year...both of us too stupid to realize the other liked eachother).
Erik makes me laugh more than anyone I've ever met. In all honesty,once high school came, I never thought I would genuinely laugh again. I faked my way through plenty of jokes, events, and randommess. But, I never meant any of it. I wasn't depressed, but I may as well have been. I wasn't sure of anything. I was insecure. I was stupid. I didn't know what I wanted. I realized later that I just wasn't happy. I tried dating another guy (I later realized this was a disaster) but that didn't work out. No one ever made me feel the way Erik does.
It's weird to think that someone so close to you could end up being the key that unlocks your happiness. But, that is exactly what I realized Erik was to me. He made me happier than anything ever had and anyone ever could. I know I'm only 18, but I know he is the love of my life. No one EVER could replace him. No one EVER could make me laugh the way he does. 11 hours away and he still has me laughing harder than I ever have (and it's genuine).
Erik, if you read this (which you will because I'll send you this link) I want you to know that I've never loved anyone (and I don't know that I ever will) the way that I love you. And I think you're the most perfect and amazing guy. You literally make me the happiest I've ever been and I'm a really happy person. You know exactly the right thing to say no matter what and you can make me smile even when I'm feeling the lowest. I don't know what I'd do without you and I'm so thankful I have you in my life. You are my best friend and I love you more than you will ever know.
