appease:

I used to think that the boy in this picture was a real stickler, telling me that my behavior was too reckless for his taste. I also used to think that he was incapable of laughing or any form of revelry because he wouldn’t budge - no matter how hard I tried. He gave me such a hard time when I met him, criticizing me for this and for that, making me feel like I was such an idiot for spending time with him..

And some how it has been over one year and this boy and I have made it. Can you believe it?!
