Para mi mejor amiga: No somos hermanas de sangre, sino de corazón

Cuando se trata de verdadera amistad, it’s all about finding the yin to your yang. It’s about finding that one person who’ll be able to understand you without words… Connecting deeply with someone who is both your protector and your confidant.

Today, as I’m writing this letter, I can proudly say that I managed to find it all in one person – in you. And I’m incredibly happy because of it.

I’m forever thankful to God for crossing our paths, and I’m beyond forever thankful to you for showing me the real meaning of the word BFF. Y, por supuesto, por aguantarme a mí y a mi alocada vida todos estos años.

Puedo decir sinceramente que te considero mi hermana, mi hermana pequeña. De hecho, no somos hermanas de sangre, sino de corazón. Y francamente, a veces, ese tipo de conexión es aún más fuerte e importante.

A veces pienso sinceramente que Dios nos hizo mejores amigos because He knew our moms couldn’t handle us as sisters!

Hay un viejo dicho: ‘A man who has 4 friends is an idiot, a man with 3 friends is crazy, a man with 2 friends is normal but the man with 1 friend is damn lucky!’

Probablemente se pregunte por qué he citado este dicho.

Well, I think that we can’t have more than one true friend. Yes, you can have people you always can rely on but out of all of them, there will be only one special person. There will be only one verdadera BFF.

And out of all the people in my life, out of all those people I consider my true friends, you’re that most special person to me.

I don’t know what kind of magic happens when two people click. It is an enigma, and frankly speaking, I am not trying to figure it out.

Sólo lo disfruto en mi amistad con el mejor amigo en este mundo. You came into my life without an invitation, and I’m still thanking God every single day for your unannounced arrival.

I suppose that destiny had a hand in it. Fate decided to connect us, and I hope in her plans, we’ll stay connected forever.

Aún recuerdo el día en que te conocí. Fue durante nuestro segundo año de instituto, probablemente uno de los periodos más dolorosos de mi vida.

Me esforzaba por encajar, pero parecía una lucha inútil. El resto de la clase me evitaba por ser la chica nueva y tímida. Entonces, tú, con tu corazón de oro rosa, viniste y te sentaste a mi lado.

Viste lágrimas en mis ojos y me abrazaste. Para serte sincero, en aquel momento necesitaba aquel abrazo más que el aire que respiraba. Aún recuerdo las palabras exactas que me dijiste entonces, ‘Chin up, fight the world around you and remember that big girls don’t cry.’

I mean, really, that’s a freaking heroic act to me.

You had the heart charm bracelet bangle on your arm, and you took it off and gave it to me. I still have it, and it’s one of my favorite friendship gifts ever.

I consider it our friendship bracelet because that is where it all started. That ‘mejores amigos bracelet’ marked the beginning of our true and forever-lasting friendship.

Fuimos juntos al instituto y a la universidad. Hicimos muchas cosas durante esos años. Cosas buenas y cosas malas. Tantas aventuras locas. Apuesto a que hemos tachado todo en nuestro lista de cosas que hacer antes de morir, but no biggie, we’ll make a new one.

So many things have changed. You changed, and I did too. But, one thing stayed constant… And that’s this incredibly strong bond between us. Independientemente de lo que nos pasara a nosotros y a nuestro alrededor, nuestra amistad nunca se ha tambaleado.

Siento la necesidad de decirte que eres mi roca.

Has estado ahí en los buenos y en los malos momentos. Siempre supiste qué decir y hacer para ayudarme a levantarme cuando estaba deprimido. Y no hay cantidad de dinero en este mundo que pueda pagar ese sentimiento.

Después de todos estos años juntos, siento la necesidad de decirte tantas cosas.

Sabes, anoche estaba sentado en mi habitación pensando en ti. Pensando en lo mucho que tú y nuestra amistad significan para mí.

And, while I was digging through our old memories, I couldn’t find a situation when you weren’t there.

Siempre hacías todo lo posible por hacerme feliz. Pasara lo que pasara en tu vida, encontrabas la forma de estar conmigo.

Somos no hermanas de sangre, sino de corazón. You’re my hermana del alma – One of the few rare people I want to stay in my life forever.

Y eso es lo que hace que nuestro vínculo sea tan especial. Tenemos una amistad de almas gemelas, and it’s the kind of friendship that doesn’t end so… Well, it actually never ends.

Sé que matarías por mí si te lo pidiera. Sé que no importa quién entre en mi vida, siempre serás mi número uno, mi prioridad y mi roca.

There aren’t words good enough to say cuánto Te quiero o transmitir todo el amor que honestamente siento por ti. However, I also know you don’t need my words.

Con sólo mirarme, sabes lo que siento. Sabes lo que pienso de ti y lo mucho que nuestra amistad significa para mí.

Una persona, un amigo como tú, es insustituible. Eras un perfecto partner in every ‘crime.’ I did, and I hope to the bottom of my heart we’ll stay best bitches forevaaaaa.

I know you are not here right now. Fate decided to part our ways for a while, and that’s tearing up my heart.

Sin embargo, creo en nuestro vínculo y pienso que no hay persona ni cosa que pueda poner en peligro nuestra amistad. Ni la distancia ni esas diferentes trayectorias vitales podrán separarnos jamás.

We’re stronger than any obstacle that comes in the way of our friendship, and this is how we’ll prove it.

I know this won’t take long, and we’ll be together again very soon. Well, that’s another thing I need to Gracias, mi mejor amiga, porque fuiste tú quien me enseñó a ser positivo.

Especially when life slaps you down over and over again. We’re both mujeres fuertes, and I’m sure we’re able to defy the time and the distance.

I don’t want to cry now, but I want you to know something: This letter is not a goodbye, it’s rather an ‘until I see you again’…

From your crazy best friend with love…

P.S. You’ve finished reading my letter, and I think it’s time for me now to say to you… Big girls don’t cry. So, girl up and fight the world around you.
