Lettera di ringraziamento all'amico che non mi ha mai abbandonato
So di essere un disastro. So che a volte non ho idea di cosa stia facendo della mia vita e che spesso vago senza una 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.
Anche quando dubito di me stesso, tu non lo fai mai.
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.
So di poter essere pesante a volte.
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.
Nonostante tutti i lati negativi della mia personalità, tu rimani e mi ami così come sono.
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.
Non ti sei mai arreso con me.
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.
Non mi hai mai permesso di rimanere a terra.
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.
Mi hai aiutato a capire ogni lezione dalle cose che mi sono successe. E ogni fallimento che ho avuto si è rivelato una cosa buona, ma solo perché mi hai insegnato a guardare le cose da un'altra prospettiva.
Sei sempre riuscito a vedere attraverso di me.
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.
Grazie a voi, non mi sono mai sentito solo.
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.
Vorrei che ci fossero più persone come lei su questa terra.
Vorrei che ogni essere umano avesse l'opportunità di avere nella propria vita una persona gentile e straordinaria come te. Perché sei una vera benedizione e non so cosa ho fatto per meritarti, ma so di averti.
Cara amica, grazie per avermi tenuto la mano nei giorni più bui, grazie per aver reso i miei giorni felici ancora più felici e grazie per essere la mia roccia.
Con amore,
The girl who’d be lost without you
