A la chica que sigue buscando a su gran amor

I was once you. I was disappointed in men because my heartbreaks taught me not to trust anyone. I temporarily satisfied myself with small loves because I didn’t believe that I’d ever experience the big one.

Estuve a punto de renunciar a la búsqueda de mi gran amor, pero la voz de mi cabeza me dijo que era una tonta. Era una tonta si iba a perder el tiempo con casi amantes.

La gente me decía que el gran amor no existía. Creían que sólo había un concepto de amor que era universal.

I kept on being stubborn because I believed in an old-fashioned love with all of my heart. I kept on searching until it found me. No matter what they told me, I never stopped expecting big love and you shouldn’t either.

Don’t let them tell you what to believe.

You know yourself. You know what type of person you are and you shouldn’t let them tell you what to expect from life.

If you want an old-fashioned love, where he kisses your forehead, holds your hand and watches the stars with you—wait for it. Don’t let them tell you that it doesn’t exist.

Porque así es. Cree en tus sueños y deseos porque sólo si crees, sucederá. Espera un gran amor con todo tu corazón y, al mismo tiempo, ten paciencia.

Y llegará. El gran amor te encontrará cuando menos te lo esperes y, una vez que te encuentre, se quedará.

Lucha por tus sueños.

If you don’t fight for what you believe, you cannot expect it to happen. Whatever they tell you, tell them that they’re not right.

Don’t settle for something that doesn’t make you happy only to prove to them you can. Don’t do that. Fight for your dreams of big love proudly and persistently.

Daydream about the man who will make you feel like you’ve belonged to him this whole time. Enjoy the feeling of being one with him.

Before you go to sleep, pray for patience and understanding. Do never stop dreaming about big love even when you’re wide awake.

Quédate soltero hasta que llegue el gran amor.

Don’t ever let them feel like you have to validate yourself for being single. If you don’t enjoy small love, stay single until the big one comes.

Enjoy spending time with your favorite people, find some weird hobbies that will fulfill you, travel the most deserted roads, live life to the fullest—find yourself. Feel free to go wild from time to time, if it’s going to make you feel better.

Whatever you do, don’t find temporary satisfaction in one-sided, lustful romances. Wait for the big love to find you because it will. Big love will find you when you’ve found yourself.

El gran amor llegará cuando te enamores primero de ti mismo.

Big love will come when you forgive yourself for letting them hurt you and when you’re ready to open your heart. If you don’t go over past events, you will never be able to open your heart again.

Acepta tu pasado, vive el presente y acepta el futuro. Acepta la belleza del gran amor que está por llegar.

And don’t forget to love yourself. While searching for big love, don’t let the waiting make you impatient or to think that you’re not worthy of it.

God knows you are. Love yourself like you’d want them to love you. Believe in yourself.

Espera el amor que confía, que aprecia, que permanece.

Don’t apologize for wanting love that is selfless. Wait for someone you will trust, for someone who will cherish and nurture you, for someone who will stay.

Espera un amor que te haga creer que las mejores cosas ocurren de forma inesperada. Abre tu mente y tu corazón y espera a alguien que te demuestre que tus sueños no son una fantasía.

Espera el amor que hará que tu realidad se convierta en un sueño. Que hará que tu corazón lata más rápido.

Wait for someone with whom you’ll share your fears when life scares you.

Wait for someone with whom you’ll share joy when life awards you.

When big love finds you, you’ll never feel alone again and you’ll never have to search for it again because big love stays. When big love finds you, you’ll know you’ve won.
