Dear Ex Qartulad !!better!! -

— Not really goodbye. Just qartulad . Would you like a Georgian translation of the full post, or a shorter version for social media?

ნახვამდის, ჩემო კარგო. Until I see you again, my good one. dear ex qartulad

So I’m writing this letter in the language you spoke in your sleep. The language your grandmother used when she cursed and blessed in the same breath. The language that holds three words for “morning” depending on how light touches the mountains. — Not really goodbye

Dear ex — I don’t want you back. But I want you to know: I finally understand what you meant when you said, "ქართულად ლაპარაკი გული მტკივა" — speaking Georgian makes my heart hurt. dear ex qartulad
