Carta de agradecimiento a la amiga que nunca me abandonó
Sé que soy un desastre. Sé que a veces no tengo ni idea de qué hago con mi vida y que a menudo deambulo sin causa.
I’m perfectly aware that I don’t have everything figured out and sometimes that scares the hell out of me. But somehow it doesn’t scare you. Because no matter how helpless I seem, you always have faith in me.
Incluso cuando dudo de mí mismo, tú nunca lo haces.
Even when I don’t see a way out of my mess, you always believe that I’ll find one and thanks to your support, I always manage to make things work pretty all right.
Sé que a veces puedo ser pesado.
I know I don’t always listen and that no matter how many times you warn me about something or someone, I still don’t take your advice. But despite it, you never come at me with an, ‘I told you so’ attitude. Instead, you always offer me your shoulder to cry on and you never get tired of my drama.
A pesar de todos los aspectos negativos de mi personalidad, te quedas y me quieres tal como soy.
You look beyond my mistakes, you don’t see me through my flaws and you never rub my bad decisions in my face. Somehow you always find the good in everything and you keep finding the good in me as well.
I don’t know what I did to deserve it, and I know I don’t tell you this too often, but I am grateful in this life to have someone like you to look after me.
Nunca te rendiste conmigo.
Regardless of how hard I tried to push you away, regardless of how deep I’d fallen into a hole, you stayed even when everyone else would leave me. You stuck by my side and you never even thought of leaving.
Nunca me permitiste quedarme abajo.
You allowed me to fall because that’s life, you know, but you never allowed me to stay down. Thanks to you, I always managed to see that the strongest people aren’t those who never fall but those who manage to get up after they fall.
Me ayudaste a darme cuenta de cada lección de las cosas que me pasaron. Y cada fracaso que tuve resultó ser algo bueno, pero sólo porque me enseñaste a mirar las cosas desde otra perspectiva.
Siempre pudiste ver a través de mí.
No matter how loud I laughed or how happy I appeared to be, you never allowed my laugh to deceive you. Somehow you always knew when I was faking it and you never allowed me to get away with it. I remember your, ‘Cut the crap, I know you’re not okay’ attitude.
You made me realize I was going through a rough time when I convinced myself I was doing okay. And when I broke down before you, you didn’t just let me stay broken. You helped me patch my broken parts back together.
Gracias a ti, nunca me sentí sola.
No matter which situation I found myself in, I always knew I could count on you. You were always there for me, you never left me alone in my darkest days, you never walked away when I needed you and you never gave up on me even though I might’ve deserved it at times.
With this letter, I’d like to thank you.
I want you to know that I appreciate everything you did and you’re still doing and that you’ll do for me in the future. I know you’ll be there for me in the future too because you’ve shown me in countless situations that you’re not leaving and that you have no intentions of giving up on me.
You proved to me that I’ll never see you turning your back on me no matter how rough things get.
Ojalá hubiera más gente como tú en esta tierra.
Desearía que cada ser humano tuviera la oportunidad de tener a alguien tan amable e increíble como tú en su vida. Porque eres una verdadera bendición y no tengo ni idea de lo que he hecho para merecerte, pero sé que te tengo a ti.
Querida mejor amiga, gracias por cogerme de la mano en mis días más oscuros, gracias por hacer que mis días felices sean aún más felices y gracias por ser mi roca.
Con amor,
The girl who’d be lost without you
