A Letter To The Friendship That Turned Sour

So let's ignore each other, try to pretend the other person doesn't exist, but deep down, we both know it wasn't supposed to end like this.

A Letter To The Friendship That Turned Sour

We had the best friendship, we were the opposite of a sour patch kid. First we were sweet, now we are sour (and trust me, I know how cheesy that was). I'm not really sure when this happened or why it happened, for that matter, but now we're here and I don't know how to fix this. Often times, we called one another "soulmate." We just...clicked. I've never known a friend like you. Someone that I got along with so well and told so much, so fast. Both of us, keeping our hearts so guarded. I think that's what opened me up so quickly. It started in the blink of an eye, but ended just as fast.

Even though everything turned sour, I miss you. I miss our late night conversations. I miss our constant state of "should we order food?" I miss our library dates. I miss our laughter together. I miss our dinner dates. I miss the "I hate us" moments and I miss the "I love us" moments. I miss the future plans. I miss our no judgment talks. Like I said, I miss you. I'm sad that we'll never go on our beach trip together. Or to that party we swore we'd go to. We won't be at one another’s weddings. We won't ever have another one of our crazy adventures, which is just plain sad. Nowadays, people have stopped asking me "where's _____?" when they see me. They've realized that we have recently gone our separate ways.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that things took a turn and we have gone our separates ways. I wouldn't mind if they took a turn to join back together on the same path once again. I feel like if we just talked, instead of avoiding our differences, we would be fine again because I feel like that is just the kind of friendship that we had. If you wouldn't want to, I understand. Just know, that I am here. Everything happens for a reason. You know how I'm a firm believer in that.

When it comes to everything happening for a reason, our friendship definitely did. You taught me so much in such a short amount of time. You taught me that it's okay to trust another girl and to actually befriend one! Not all girls are crazy and not to be trusted. You were one of them. You taught me that it's okay to let other people buy stuff for you. You taught me that it's okay to cry in front of others. You taught me that there's a lot beyond the surface if you choose to deep down. You taught me that I can make friends in the least expected times, even if I feel that I've lost it. Or even if I feel completely unwanted, someone does want me. Thank you for being you and thank you for everything.

Waiting with open arms and (maybe) some ice cream,

Me

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
