El amor requiere trabajo duro; no puedes marcharte cuando las cosas se ponen difíciles

Cuando amas a alguien, lo amas hasta el final. Lo amas en las buenas y en las malas, en las buenas y en las malas.

You don’t love them only when everything is going smoothly and when life is beautiful. Because when you really love someone, you stay by their side, no matter what happens.

You stick with them even when it’s not easy and even when the only impulse you have is to run and hide from everything.

Yes, the truth is that love is beautiful and that it shouldn’t make your life harder. But you need to have in mind that love isn’t a real life fairytale and that it will always be far from perfect.

Porque a veces, la mierda simplemente sucede.

Y cuando ocurre, es cuando se pone a prueba la fuerza y la profundidad de tu amor por la otra persona. Porque el amor es un viaje, no un destino.

Y hay que trabajar duro. Hay que trabajar y luchar por ello. Necesita esfuerzo, energía y muchos sacrificios.

Y lo que es más importante, requiere el mismo grado de compromiso tanto en los días buenos como en los malos.

Because you don’t walk away from someone you love just like that. You don’t leave them hanging when something becomes too much for you to handle.

You don’t just turn your back on them the second things get rough.

Y eso fue exactamente lo que le hiciste a esta chica. La abandonaste cuando más necesitaba tu apoyo.

La abandonaste sin luchar, y la dejaste, cuando lo único que ella necesitaba era que te quedaras. Y eso no se le hace a alguien que amas.

Because when you love someone, you go through life shoulder to shoulder with them. You show them that they can count on you and that you’ll always be their partner in crime.

When you love someone, you love all of them—not just the parts you like and find convenient. You accept them with all of their flaws and imperfections.

Aceptas todos sus problemas como propios y os ves a los dos como un equipo.

When you truly care about someone, you are aware that things between the two of you won’t always be easy. You understand that your relationship will sometimes go through rough patches.

Y cuando lo hace, en lugar de echarte atrás, es cuando más luchas por mantener vivo tu amor. Es entonces cuando pones todo tu empeño y toda tu energía en superar esta crisis.

Es cuando demuestras a tu pareja que crees en los dos.

Cuando quieres a alguien, le quieres igual cuando está en su mejor momento y cuando están en su peor momento.

You hold their hand through thick and thin, and you don’t run away at the first sign of trouble.

You don’t escape when they need to be taken care of, when they need help or just a shoulder to cry on.

You don’t run away when they crave your support and when all they need is you assuring them you aren’t going anywhere.

Instead, you stand by their side, and you show them that you have their back. You don’t act like their problems are none of your business, and you never even think of giving up on them.

When you love someone, you don’t disappear on them when they need your presence the most.

You don’t chicken out on them, and you show them that the two of you will overcome every life difficulty and obstacle, as long as you are together.

And this is something you’ve never done for this girl. You’ve never showed her that she can rely on you, and you’ve never fought for your relationship.

You know, it is easy to remain in someone’s life when everything is going great. It was easy for you to be with this girl while everything was sugar and spice.

Pero hacía falta un hombre de verdad que estuviera a su lado y fuera su fuerza.

And obviously, you weren’t man enough for the job. Instead, you acted like a coward who ran away when she needed you to hold her hand.

Así que no, nunca la quisiste lo suficiente. Because you don’t turn your back on the ones you truly love.
