Carta a la chica con el corazón roto

Dear ‘You’,

I know you’re hurting. I was there once before. I know you think the pain won’t ever go away, but it will. I know it will because I don’t feel it anymore and you won’t either. Just hang in there a little longer.

Every time you think you can’t take it anymore, give yourself a small push and you will endure.

Cada vez que quieras llorar a moco tendido, hazte un favor y llora. Permítete sentarte en el charco de tus lágrimas en el suelo de tu cuarto de baño. Tienes que pasar por eso. Tienes que llorar tus emociones.

Cada vez que sientas que tu corazón está a punto de explotar y que algo te presiona y te atraviesa dentro del pecho, respira hondo. Tú estás provocando que suceda.

Estás pensando demasiado and obsessing about searching for answers to ‘why me?’ and ‘why couldn’t it work?’

Sé que te han roto el corazón, porque puedo verlo por mucho que intentes ocultarlo.

You have that special smile that gives away your pain hiding behind it. You have that sparkle in your eyes that is a reflection of all the tears you’ve spilled suffering.

Sientes como si te hubieran arrancado una parte de ti, como si ya no estuvieras completo.

You hate this feeling and you will do anything to distract yourself from thinking about the person who broke you to pieces. You’ll meet new people and you’ll visit places you always wanted to go.

You look like you are defeated but that’s far from the truth. You will never accept defeat and you will never surrender. You just need some time to let things cool down.

You know you have to rise from the dead to continue living your beautiful life. It’s just that at the moment you’ve forgotten how blessed you are and what you have. You forgot because you’re hurt.

Necesitas recordarte quién eres y lo que mereces. Necesitas cambiar tu mentalidad a modo de supervivencia. Necesita liberarse del dolor.

Tienes que salir ahí fuera y recuperar la confianza en ti mismo. Tienes que volver a caminar por las calles con orgullo. Tienes que llamar la atención de todos los hombres que conozcas y hacer que todas las mujeres te envidien.

Put your foot down and decide that you have to bring back your self-esteem and respect. Broken hearts don’t last forever.

You may forgive him for all the pain he caused you, but you will never forget how much it hurt. You will never forget all those sleepless nights and even days when you couldn’t get up from the bed.

You won’t forget the tears you’ve cried calling out his name. You won’t forget how many times you’ve tried to knock him out of your head, but you couldn’t.

You promised yourself that you will never let this happen again. You’re never going to let your heart get broken. You decided you won’t be naive and that you won’t fall in love this hard, ever again.

You promised yourself all of that, but you know it won’t come true. You know it’s impossible and you know it’s not up to you to decide.

Your heart has a mind of its own. You know it and yet you’re ready to survive anything – maybe even another heartbreak. You know you can. You’re strong.

Atentamente,

La chica con el corazón roto
