Miss to Have a Friend

*I want only to be fluent and understandable (not perfect, not academic).

Living in another country has made me to grow a lot. I have my husband, and I'm so glad for share my life with him, but sometimes I notice that love doesn't replace the need of having a friend to talk other things, laugh without planning it, or simply share the day to day. It's not that I feel lonely, but I miss that real and soft connection with somebody.

Over years, I have understood that having friends as an adult is hard. It's not about spending time, but about finding real connections, with people with whom you can be yourself without making a lot of effort. Does this happen to you too? How do you build new friendships as adults?


Extrañar tener un amigo

*Solo quiero ser fluida y entendible (no perfecta, no académica).

Vivir en otro país me ha hecho crecer mucho. Tengo a mi esposo, y estoy muy agradecida por compartir mi vida con él, pero a veces me doy cuenta de que el amor de pareja no reemplaza la necesidad de tener un amigo o una amiga con quien hablar de otras cosas, reír sin planearlo o simplemente compartir el día a día. No es que me sienta sola, pero sí me hace falta esa conexión más natural y ligera.

Con los años he entendido que hacer amigos siendo adulto es difícil. Ya no se trata solo de pasar el rato, sino de encontrar vínculos reales, con personas con las que puedas ser tú misma sin tener que esforzarte tanto. ¿También les pasa? ¿Cómo hacen ustedes para construir amistades nuevas siendo adultos?

Creo que inglés es el unicó idioma por lo que habla con «la perfección» suena rígida o incómoda. ¡Yo no me preocuparía!

This is definitely a very common thing! I have experienced it too but I don’t know the solution either. I don’t think it’s your fault. We live very isolating lives. Pues, ¡buena suerte!

Hello! Thank you so much for your time correcting me. Sometimes I think modern life makes it too easy to stay in our own little bubble. It helps to know other people feel the same way. Thanks for your message!
