Aceptamos el amor que creemos merecer

Tras una ruptura reciente, empecé a plantearme qué había hecho mal. Me venían a la cabeza diferentes preguntas. Preguntas como: ¿Le mostré demasiado afecto y le asusté? ¿Esperaba demasiado de él? ¿Soy simplemente difícil de amar?

Y entonces me di cuenta de que nada de eso era verdad. La única verdad es: Aceptamos el amor que creemos merecer. ¿Qué significa esto? Significa que nos limitamos involuntariamente en lo que respecta al amor. Damos más de lo que somos capaces de dar y recibimos menos de lo que merecemos.

Why do we fall in love with people who don’t deserve us?

Why do we choose someone when we subconsciously know that he’s not a good choice for us? Why do we always hope that the person will change or that we will change them? We fool ourself to believe that this is the right thing to do.

We choose to enjoy small loves because we think we will never experience the big one. We waste great amounts of our time on someone who is not worthy of one second. And we realize all of this when it’s too late.

We think we don’t deserve better and that is why we settle for people who treat us badly.

We accept other people’s lies, manipulations and their toxic behavior just because we think we don’t deserve better than that. But this is not true. We deserve much, much better and greater things than we are settling for. We deserve someone who will be there for us when we are scared.

Merecemos a alguien que nos trate con respeto y admiración. Merecemos a alguien que piense siempre en nosotros porque formamos parte de su ser. Y nunca debemos dejar de creerlo. People who treat us badly don’t deserve us! Y esa es la única verdad.

We think we’ll never be good enough.

We think we have to be perfect in order to be loved by another human being. How cruel of us to think that. We think we’ll never be good enough because we don’t allow ourself to fail. If we don’t allow ourself to fail, we will never be able to improve ourself. We are good enough.

Eres suficientemente bueno. If they don’t like you the way you are, they certainly don’t deserve you. You should never change only to fit the definition of perfect. You are not perfect and that is more than okay. You are good enough for everyone else but you’re not good to yourself. Be good to yourself!

Creemos que no somos dignos de amor.

You don’t have to worry that you’re unworthy of love because real love is not picky. Real love appreciates all of our quirks, flaws and imperfections and turns them into perfection. We are not unworthy of love, we are just giving our love to the wrong people who are not able to reciprocate.

Love should be easy, like a summer breeze, but we keep making it hard for ourself. We keep giving second chances when we know we shouldn’t. We keep hoping that they will change when we know they won’t. We keep giving our heart even though we know that it will be broken. We forget that we deserve to be loved. And we forget to love ourself.

Mereces que te quieran.

You deserve to feel free of all the troubles you’ve gone through and you deserve to experience the essence of true love. You deserve someone who will never stop reminding you how beautiful you truly are, inside and out.

Quiérete a ti mismo.

Debes estar orgulloso de ti mismo y aceptar sólo el amor que te eleva, que te inspira y te hace convertirte en la mejor versión de ti mismo. Acepta el amor alegre y lleno de vida. Acepta el amor que permanece.
