I’m lucky I’m with a guy who I wouldn’t mind spending all my time with. He can never make me feel bored. Being w/ Rain just makes me feel content. The only reason I don’t spend as much time with him as I like is because 1. Work eats up my life, 2. I’m a big believer in alone time, and 3. I don’t want to be that loser who spends all her time w/ her boyfriend.

Of course, in this picture, I’d be the reading one and he’d be the napper.
