This is a new thing I'm trying.
I'm writing a letter to a specific person each week.
Today that person is someone who listened to me
and saw me crying and made me smile.
Dear Friend,
Thanks for today. I was a mess. I don't know how you were able to look at me and stay there with me attacking you and being so defensive. Having you there was reassuring, especially because I was expecting you to leave and run for your life. People tend to do that. I hope you know I have stopped testing you, you don't need to be tested. You have done enough already to show me you are a good friend and I appreciate you for it (English doesn't help very much. I guess I want to say "te quiero por eso"). I know I said I wished I had "not come back" two years ago. But now that I think about it, maybe there was a reason for me to still be here. Maybe I needed to meet you. We haven't been friends for too long but I feel like I've known you forever. I don't know if I'm any good or if I've done anything to help you or anything big like you have, but I really do care about you. Thanks for being so patient with me and for not running away. That's all I can say. Thank you making me smile, I kinda like it when I do. Thanks for telling me I'm cute even though I don't believe it. Thanks for being a great friend. I guess what I want to say is thanks for being you.
Love,
Nadia
See? I'm smiling.
Plus I totally did well on my midterm.
