Okay, so, it was my boyfriend’s and my anniversary, and I wanted to do something special, something more personal than just buying a gift. I decided to write him a heartfelt letter. Sounds simple, but it turned out to be a bit of a journey!
First, I grabbed a nice piece of paper and a good pen. I mean, you can’t write a love letter on some old scrap paper, right? I even got some scented paper – his favorite, sandalwood. Gotta set the mood!
Then came the hard part – actually writing the thing. I started by just brainstorming. I jotting down all the things I love about him, some of our favorite memories, and all the things I’m looking forward to in our future. This part took a while. I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything important.
- His goofy smile
- Our trip to the beach last summer
- How he always knows how to make me laugh
- Our future home, maybe with a dog?
After I had a good list, I started drafting the actual letter. I tried to make it sound like I was talking to him, not like I was writing an essay. I used simple words, inside jokes, and just poured my heart out onto the paper. I wrote about how much he means to me and how grateful I am to have him in my life.
I read through it a few times, made some changes, and then rewrote the whole thing on a fresh sheet of the scented paper. It looked so much better without all the scribbles and crossed-out words. It is not an easy job, you know. I really spent lots of time to make it as perfect as possible.
Finally, I folded the letter, put it in a nice envelope, and even added a little wax seal with our initials. I gave it to him on our anniversary dinner, and he loved it! He said it was the best gift he’s ever received. And honestly, seeing his reaction made all the effort totally worth it. I highly recommend that you can try this way when you want to celebrate the special day!
