A la chica que cree que nunca volverá a amar
Lo harás. I know… I know, it hurts right now. Sé que te sientes rota, maltratadae incapaz de reunir la energía para salir de la cama. Sé que no hay nada que pueda decir o hacer que te consuele. But this pain you are feeling in this moment, that seems like it’s going to consume you, it will pass. Not before it’s had its way with you, not before it’s made you feel all the feels you have to feel, but eventually, it will fade into the past and become part of what makes you who you were meant to become.
Una vez que el dolor te haya liberado de sus garras, te escupirá un poco más fuerte, y un poco más receloso. Creerás que el amor es el enemigo. Que el amor es, en última instancia, la causa de toda esta agonía y jurarás alejarte de él. Jurarás a Dios y a cualquiera que te escuche que NUNCA volverás a amar. Que nunca dejarás que nada ni nadie te vuelva a poner en ese lugar. ¿Quién puede culparte? Te costó mucho sobrevivir a ese dolor, ¿por qué querrías volver a hacerlo? ¿Cómo puedes siquiera imaginar que tu corazón vuelva a abrirse?
I’ve been there. In that place where love seems like your enemy and your heart a weapon to be used against you. But it’s not. Estás hecho para amar y ser amado. Tu corazón está destinado a llenarse de alegría y felicidad. Love didn’t break you. Love didn’t desert you. He did. And now he’s gone. Let him take all of the blame, and leave love for you. Let the person who didn’t love you be the cause of your pain, and let love be the solution. Let love be the thing that heals you.
Start small if you have to, love your favorite coffee cup that delivers liquid life into your mouth and warms your soul on a cold morning. Love your bed that feels like you’re floating on a cloud when you need to escape the pressures of the day. Love the way your cat cuddles with you in the morning.
Look at all of the things you love and the joy that those things bring you. Love didn’t hurt you. Love didn’t make you cry. Love gives you a thousand reasons to be happy every day. Don’t blame love because he did you wrong. He is not love. He is just an asshat who didn’t know what he had, and that’s on him-not love.
Before you swear off love and promise you will never do it again… take notice of all the things you have in your life that you do love=your family, your friends, yourself. He didn’t take love from you. He didn’t render you incapable of mustering up that emotion. Aún amas y volverás a amar.
El amor,
A girl who thought she would never love again… until I realized, I never stopped.
