Una lettera alla ragazza che era la mia "migliore amica".

We all have that one friend who we used to call our “Best Friend.” Things change and people do as well. Here’s to all the girls out there who hanno perso una persona a cui un tempo erano molto legati.

Caro ex migliore amico,

I highly doubt you remember me. You don’t respond to my texts; you don’t have a Facebook or Insta. You have a Snapchat but I barely notice you use it. When you view my stories, do you recognize me? Do you know that it’s your ex best friend?

Anyway, I’m writing to you to see how your life is going. How are things? How is your boyfriend? How is he treating you?

Dopo la mia relazione abusiva Finita con quel ragazzo che disprezzavi, ho incontrato un ragazzo che mi tratta come ho sempre voluto essere trattata.

Avevi ragione sul mio ex, avrei dovuto ascoltarti. Mi ci è voluto un po' per rendermi conto del pasticcio in cui mi trovavo, ma l'ho fatto e so che saresti stato così orgoglioso.

So, I heard you moved to North Carolina not too long ago. What’s it like there? Anything is better than Maryland, haha. Do you remember when you lived 3 minutes away from my house?

Di come facevamo passeggiate insieme d'estate? Di come facevamo i pigiama party e parlavamo male del mio primo ragazzo? Tutte le foto che abbiamo insieme su Facebook: ti ricordi qualcosa di tutto questo? Spero di sì.

We haven’t talked in well over a year. So much different than what it used to be. I wish you still were my best friend; you would be so proud of everything I have accomplished.

You would absolutely love my new boyfriend. I’m sure you would approve. Anyway, I know you’ll never receive this but I want you to know that I miss you and I think about you all the time.

Desiderando di poter uscire insieme come una volta. Ricordo che a pranzo, al liceo, ci sedevamo e parlavamo ininterrottamente.

You came over my house on Halloween—I was a cat, you were a ladybug. And most importantly, when my high school first love broke up with me, you came over and talked me through everything. We took funny pictures together and dressed up really sexy to try to make him jealous he ever left.

Sadly, those are just memories now. I need you to know that I’ll never forget the time we shared together as best friends. All the inside jokes, nicknames, and good times.

You’re someone else’s best friend now, and I hope they realize what an amazing person you are. They deserve a friend like you and I hope they don’t ever ruin it. Anyway, I should get going now. I hope you’re in good hands and you take care of yourself

Sinceramente, il vostro ex migliore amico.

For anyone who has ever had a best friend, who is no longer their “best friend”, this is for you. We all have people come and go in our lives, this is especially for that one person who you really miss.
