Esta es la razón por la que renunció a intentar ser su prioridad

"Llega un momento en que tienes que dejar de cruzar océanos por gente que ni siquiera saltaría charcos por ti".

Many asked her how she could let him go so easily. Many asked her why she didn’t fight harder, why se rindió cuando estaban destinados a estar juntos.

Little did they know that she didn’t give up but he didn’t even try anymore.

They acted as if it was all her fault, as if it was her job to keep him or to make him stay. As if they didn’t know that you can’t keep someone who doesn’t want to stay.

Puso distancia entre los dos. Maybe he didn’t do that willingly, maybe something stole his attention, but maybe he didn’t really care for her anymore.

Quizá se hartó. Tal vez la dio por sentada. De cualquier manera, dejó de hacer de ella una prioridad.

Se centró en su vida. Se centró en ocuparse de todo el mundo menos de ella. Se ocupó tanto de su vida que se olvidó de la vida que tenía con ella.

Él se olvidó de sus necesidades y ella se convirtió en una de esas mujeres desatendidas emocionalmente.

Ella ya no era una prioridad para él. He didn’t bother to call just to hear her voice. He was always busy. He never had time for dates or to spend some quality time with her.

He even spent more time with his friends than he did with her. He started leaving her alone too much and he allowed days to pass when they didn’t hear from each other.

Intentó hablar con él. She tried to tell him that things had started going downhill and how he wasn’t the same person he used to be. She tried so hard to open his eyes.

Al final del día, fue su alma gemela, su compañero de vidacon el que veía su futuro.

Despite what everyone else thought, she didn’t just give up on him. She really tried, but he didn’t see the same things she did.

Para él, todo estaba bien. No había necesidad de trabajar en nada. Dijo que eran bien y que sólo estaba siendo paranoica.

And then he went off and didn’t reply to her messages for hours and when he finally did, it was just a one-word message. Something was off, but he didn’t care to fix it.

Perhaps he thought he’d still have her, even when he stopped putting any effort into their relationship. But he was wrong.

Durante mucho tiempo, trató de hacerse un hueco en su agenda. Durante tanto tiempo inclinarse hacia atrás para que él se fijara en ella. Parecía que se moría sólo por tener un poco de su tiempo.

She really tried. But she didn’t manage to succeed.

Al final, cuando vio que él había dejado de hacer de ella su prioridad, renunció a intentar serlo. Renunció a llamarle, renunció a enviarle mensajes de texto constantemente primero, renunció a intentar que se fijara en ella.

She gave up on making plans because she knew he’d cancel them last minute anyway.

Now it’s time for people to understand that objetivos de la relación son algo más que poner un hashtag debajo de una foto bonita en Instagram.

It’s making time for the person who loves you even when your schedule is crazy.

It’s responding as soon as you see a message because it’s not like those thirty seconds will harm your work. It’s constantly trying to keep the love burning and not just hoping things will work even when you don’t try.

Se dio cuenta de que tenía que dejar de esforzarse tanto por alguien que se rindió hace mucho tiempo.

She realized she should stop tearing her self-worth down for a man who didn’t even notice her anymore.

She realized that she should stop trying too. That way, in case she meant anything to him, he’d notice her pulling away and reach back to her.

Y si la dejaba ir fácilmente, significaba que estaba de acuerdo con perderla.

If he didn’t reach out to her, if he didn’t hear the wake-up call, it meant she had done right when she chose to stop trying.

Because regardless of how much it hurts, it’s always better to break yourself once by leaving than to allow yourself to be broken every day by letting him take you for granted.

When you have to fight to be someone’s priority, then that’s a sign that it’s time to invest your efforts into a relationship with someone who you won’t need to beg to make time for you but with someone who’s going to give it to you willingly and on his own.

Sometimes when others aren’t willing to make you their priority it’s your task to make yourself a priority and take care of yourself.

Olvídate de lo que digan los demás o de lo que crean que debes hacer. Cuida siempre primero de ti mismo.
