My Safe Place

2/9/21

The last year that I was in public school was during 7th grade, or Year 8. Today I was going through draw in my vanity and came across a letter from one of my best friends from school. She wrote it in my journal the last day I was at school. When I got home that day I ripped it out and hid it, hoping forget about it and find it another time. It would essentially be like a time capsule when I reread it. And it was. Here is what it said:

[*Her Name* was here and I know I may sound lesbian but I love you and I'll miss you being by my side and I'm thankful for you being there since the 4th grade and calling me Dora even though I hated it I'll miss it. I'll miss you, you're gonna make me graduate by myself and I hate that you'll start 8th grade without me but you know not all friendships last forever. I hope you'll have a good life (P.S. hope you don't cuz you love me so much). My life without you is gonna be hard but I guess I'll have to learn to live without you. I know I sound really lesbian but you leaving is like loosing one of my sisters because even tho I never really told you how I felt, I loved you like a sister (No Homo). Just sayin and I know you wanna read this so let me write a few more sentences. Even if people talk about us all the time I don't care and you taught me not to care about what other people think of me so thank you. And here's my autograph so you'll have it when you know I get famous. *Her Signature* Thank You Have A Good Life -♥]

I really wish I could see her again, but not everything lasts forever. So until we meet face to face again, I will continue to miss her. Whether she remembers writing it or not, I won't forget it. I would agree with her about us being like sisters. We talked about everything! Even though I can't talk to her anymore, I know that if we saw each other, it would be just the same today as it was 2 years ago.
