12 señales de que una ruptura fue lo mejor (aunque aún le eches de menos)

1. Tu autoestima ha vuelto. You’re back baby! You don’t feel lonely, and you don’t question every single thing you do.

Tus pensamientos están en el lugar correcto. Vuelves a sentirte tú mismo. No hay pánico ni ansiedad.

2. You feel like you’re free. Puedes estar todavía un poco triste y tal vez perdido.

Pero el sentimiento general que te consume por debajo de todo lo demás es la sensación de libertad. Sabes que has recuperado tu antigua vida.

3. It’s been a long time since you last devoted time to yourself. Cuando rompes con alguien, te levantas y te reinventas.

You try to find that something within you which you’ve lost. And then you realize it has been forever since you last did something nice for yourself.

4. You feel peace when you’re by yourself. Sure, it’s not all that peachy all the time. Loneliness is a big burden to bear, but at the same time, you sometimes feel like you’ve found your peace.

You feel lonely because you’re still hurt, and the wound is still fresh. But those moments when you feel happy about being alone are how you actually feel when you take away the sadness.

5. You know exactly what you want and where you’re headed. Tienes posibilidades ilimitadas guardadas para el futuro.

Tienes un objetivo claro, y sabes que nadie puede meterse con él; nadie puede impedir que consigas lo que quieres.

6. You don’t have to make compromises you don’t want to. Puedes ver los programas de televisión que te gusten. Puedes comer lo que quieras.

Hay muchas cosas que estaban fuera de tu alcance cuando tenías pareja y que ahora están disponibles. Pero lo más importante es que esas cosas te hagan feliz.

7. You’re laughing like you haven’t laughed in a long time. Laughter heals the soul, but while you were in a relationship, you didn’t laugh that much.

Laughing was replaced with bickering and yelling. Now that you are laughing again, you realize how much you’ve missed it.

8. La idea de volver a estar juntos te da pánico. Cuando rompes, hay momentos de debilidad en los que empiezas a pensar ¿cómo sería si siguierais juntos?

On the surface, that seems so much easier than going through the pain you’re feeling. But when you really start thinking about it, you start panicking because you remember all the bad things that happened.

Ya está. Ahora sabes que romper es lo mejor.

9. Disfrutas de tu propia compañía. You don’t need people around you in order to be happy and feel good.

Before, you needed someone around you to enjoy yourself. Now you’d rather drink a cup of coffee all by yourself than putting up with someone else’s unnecessary presence.

10. You’re learning how to do things you know you wouldn’t have learned if you had stayed in that relationship.

You’re learning how to comfort yourself because you have no one by your side to make you feel better. You’re learning how to be happy without a man in your life. You’re learning how to be by yourself and love it!

11. You’re not afraid of change. You’re aware that it’s so much better to be scared about the future and feel a bit of discomfort because you know you’re growing than feel comfortable by staying in one and the same place.

12. You’ve gotten your own identity back. Cuando estabas en una relación, la gente te veía como parte de otra persona.

Eres tu propia persona, con sus propios intereses y su propia personalidad. Ahora tienes todo eso de vuelta, y nunca volverás a renunciar a ello.
