A la chica que se siente cansada, por favor aguanta un poco más

Hey Stranger,

I know you think we’re nothing more than this, two strangers who have nothing in common whatsoever, but I’m afraid you couldn’t be more wrong.

Sé más de tu vida y de lo que sientes de lo que podrías imaginar.

I know your alarm wakes you up every morning and you snooze it and roll onto the other side of your bed because you’re not ready to get up just yet.

I know that your bed feels so much better than going out in the world. I know how tired you’re feeling even before you get up out of your bed.

I know because I’ve been there.

I know you’d love to have fun but it takes so much energy from you. I know you’d love to make other people laugh and I know you’d love to laugh from the bottom of your soul until your stomach aches but you haven’t done this in a while.

You haven’t done it because you forgot how.

I know because I’ve been there.

I know you don’t see the point in living anymore because you can’t find one thing you love about your life. Everything seems so disposable and so irrelevant.

Todo parece tan lejos de tu alcance. Todo lo que quieres parece tan lejano y como si nunca hubiera estado destinado a ser tuyo.

I know because I’ve been there.

Sé que quieres pausar el mundo y hacer que se calme por un momento. Y sé que quieres que todo se quede quieto un segundo para poder recuperar el aliento.

I know you want to pause the world to take some rest and to be able to catch up with it. I know you’re feeling stuck and you have no idea how to move forward.

I know because I’ve been there.

I know your head is a mess. I know that you feel like you’re insuficiente. I know you’re tired of trying but not getting any credit for it.

I know you’re tired of getting put down, tired of mean people, tired of backstabbers too. I know you’re tired of crying and tired of your own insecurities and tired of being tired as well.

I know you’re tired and I know how tired looks because I’ve been there too.

But do you know what the best thing is about feeling the way you feel? Your life is a paradox and you’re not even aware of it.

See, you wake up every morning having no idea how you’re going to make it and yet you manage to make through the day over and over again.

I know you don’t see it now but I swear you’re way stronger than you give yourself credit for. Your bravery deserves a medal.

You probably don’t think you did anything extraordinary but that’s where you’re wrong the most.

You get up every morning and you try. You try even when you’re tired.

And despite the fact that you’re emotionally and physically drained, you still haven’t given up.

You’re a true fighter, you know? You’re not a fighter in the normal sense of the word, you’re even a bigger fighter than that.

You’re a fighter because you fight yourself every day. You’re a true fighter because the worst battles are those we fight within ourselves.

Y tú has luchado y ganado muchas de ellas.

You might feel like you’re on the edge now but you don’t have to fall. You don’t have to let your life slip through your fingers.

Aún puedes elegir. Happiness is not a feeling, it’s a choice y puedes elegir sentirte feliz.

Life played a little game with you. It did the same thing to me as well. It said: You’re gonna be happy but I have to make you strong first.

And I know you’ve pasado por el infierno. But you know what the silver lining is here? You’ve been knocked down to the very bottom.

Y la única forma de ir desde abajo es hacia arriba. Ahora es tu momento.

It’s time to admit to yourself that you deserve more. It’s time to admit to yourself that you’re good enough.

It’s time to embrace life and to actually get up in the morning promising that you’ll try to love everything that day has to offer you.

It’s time to stop feeling like it’s all your fault and to stop convincing yourself how you’re not good enough.

You’re the master of your own fate. You’re the one in charge. You’re the captain of your life.

You’re the sky and everything else is the weather. You’re the only constant in your life and everything else is pretty much changeable.

Whatever you’re feeling now will fade away. And one day you’ll look back on your life and laugh about how you allowed yourself to be affected by so many irrelevant things.

One day you’ll be in such a good place that you won’t understand this you that you are now.

Aguanta un poco más, por favor, porque te prometo que te esperan días mejores. Probablemente te preguntes cómo lo sé.

Well, I know because I’ve been in your shoes. And I know there is more to life than you’ve got right now. 

Tómate todo el tiempo que necesites para llenar las pilas. Ponga en pausa su vida todo el tiempo que quieras.

Pero, por favor, nunca pierdas la esperanza. Hay algo más grande en camino.

Life is just testing you to see if you’re truly ready for it. Show everyone what you’re made of.
