No existe persona en este mundo que no haya sufrido una ruptura dolorosa en el pasado.

Cuando pasas por ello, piensas que es el fin del mundo, pero luego te das cuenta de que todo forma parte de la vida. Pero es más fácil cuando hay alguien que te lleva de la mano a través de esta dolorosa experiencia.

Por eso, aquí van 5 cosas que ojalá me hubieran dicho cuando estaba pasando por una ruptura, que lo habrían hecho todo mucho más fácil.

1. Sobrevivirás

Cuando atraviesas una ruptura desagradable, piensas que el peso del mundo entero ha caído sobre tus hombros.

For you, life has no meaning anymore and you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. In those moments of despair, you are positive that you’ll never get over this guy and that you’ll suffer forever. But I am here to tell you that everything will be OK.

I know you’ve heard this line far too many times but it really isn’t just an empty phrase—it’s the truth. Yes, you are going through a lot of emotional pain now but there will come a time when you’ll laugh at this.

I know that this pain seems unbearable and too much for you to handle at the moment but life will put you through more difficult situations and this break-up will look like a piece of cake. No matter what you think now, you’ll get better and you’ll survive.

2. No vale la pena

I assume that this is the last thing you want to hear right now but this guy is really not worth it. It will take a long time before you really understand this but he didn’t deserve everything you are going through now because of him.

This won’t reduce your suffering, because you still love him despite knowing this, but it is something you should repeat to yourself constantly.

No es digno de tus lágrimas, no es digno de todas las noches sin dormir y no es digno de tu sufrimiento.

Sobre todo, no es digno de ti. It is simple—if he was worthy, he wouldn’t have put you through everything you are going through.

3. Probablemente también esté sufriendo

Una de las primeras preguntas que todos nos hacemos cuando sufrimos un desengaño amoroso es si somos los únicos que nos sentimos así.

¿Este tipo también piensa en mí? ¿Me echa de menos, aunque sea un poquito? A los hombres les gusta fingir que son duros y que rara vez sufren por amor. Pero estoy aquí para decirte que todo eso es mentira.

He is probably suffering the same way you are but he just doesn’t show it. You are not the only one waiting for his phone call or stalking him on social media—he does it too.

But this shouldn’t be a sign for you to get back together with this guy, it should only help you stop feeling miserable about yourself.

4. He wasn’t the love of your life

En estás en medio de una ruptura dolorosaProbablemente pienses que ese hombre es el amor de tu vida. Desde este punto de vista, estás convencida de que nunca has amado a nadie como le has amado a él y que nunca volverás a amar.

You think this man was your soulmate and that you’ll never find someone like him. And that is normal. But it doesn’t make it true. Trust me—this guy was probably no es tu alma gemela or the love of your life and you’ll definitely love again, despite what you may think now.

Don’t let yourself fall into despair, thinking you’ll end up forever alone. Yes, you’ll probably spend some time consumed by this sadness you are feeling now but as soon as you meet someone new, it will go away.

Llegará un hombre que te hará olvidar que ese tipo existió. Todo esto probablemente te suene improbable e imposible, pero créeme, ocurrirá cuando menos te lo esperes.

5. Esto te servirá de lección

I know you probably think that this was the worst thing that could’ve happened to you.

You feel hopeless, like all of your dreams and hopes have been shattered into pieces. But trust me—there will come a time when you’ll realize this was the best thing that could’ve happened. There will come a time when you’ll see that he was your lección más dura pero que fue una experiencia valiosa.

You don’t see it now but there will come a time when you’ll thank God that this man walked away from your life.
