A good seed in a meadow full of weeds.

This Saturday the 9th of July marks the date of the first kiss shared between my boyfriend Julius and I. 

Most men struggle to remember anniversaries, birthdays and other important dates, let alone want to celebrate them. My baby looks at me innocently last night and says 'babe, do you want to do something special this Saturday to celebrate the first time we smooched?' 
I wanted to scream with happiness.

I am sure like me, some of you have men who fall into the following categories: 

• The ones who cheat on you and lie about it until they are blue in the face (very common)

• Those who cheat on you and then somehow make it all your fault

• The ones who think it is acceptable to scream at you over literally anything and everything

• Boys who treat you like a princess behind closed doors and then switch as soon as you leave the house (these are the ones who won't tell anyone they have a girlfriend, wont hold your hand in public, usually are still 'single' on facebook and generally end up cheating on you)

• The clingy ones who say 'I love you' in less than a week and start making marriage arrangements (Get out. Now!)

• The non-committing ones who only realize they should have locked you down once its over and your no longer interested (I kinda feel sorry for these ones as they are just genuinely screwed in the head)

• The ones who put you down (I hate these!!!). They frequently spit out statements like 'babe, maybe you should go to the gym?', 'Do you think you should be eating that?', 'That really doesn't look good on you' etc. and they are constantly checking out other girls and/or commenting on how 'hot' other girls are.

• Those who don't make time for you. Lets face it, they are not ready for a girlfriend.

Even though I am only 20 years old, I have certainly had my fair share of douches and the way I am treated now makes me wonder 'What the hell was I thinking?' and also makes me question why I didnt just beat the shit out of a few of them.

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I have been lucky enough to meet and lock down the sweetest, kindest man I have ever met. I have never been happier in my entire life and I never thought a man would be the reason for a large percentage of that. He is the kind who writes me sweet little texts/emails/messages and calls me just to tell me he loves me. I get wined and dined on the weekly, car door and chairs are opened for me, he constantly calls me beautiful and I am smothered with kisses and hugs every time I see him. We barely fight, and when we do he doesn't raise his voice or throw insults and we always make up. I do what I want, wear what I want and go where I want, whenever I want to. He is the most beautiful thing I have. So you get the point. 

I was the kind of girl who despised most men (I haven't had the best experiences) so I thought I would I write this post to say that I have been proved wrong. Not all men are scum, there are sweethearts out there waiting to make your world a happier place.

Have a happy Friday everyone xx
