Estoy aprendiendo poco a poco a dejar ir las cosas que no son buenas para mí

He sido paciente en la vida durante mucho tiempo.

I’ve taken everything bad that anyone ever said to me and I stored it deep inside.

I’ve waited and waited because I thought things would change, that people would change, that destiny would go easy on me and pay me back by letting good things happen.

Todo eso está a punto de cambiar.

I’ve realized something.

I’ve realized that waiting for things to happen, waiting for things to change, is a lost cause.

Nothing will ever be different if I don’t take my destiny into my own hands. 

This time, I’m slowly starting to realize that.

I’m slowly learning to let go of everything that bothers me and people who don’t value me. 

First, people. I’m letting go of all of you who never did anything good for me; if anything, you always made me feel bad.

I’m saying goodbye to the heartbreakers.

Tú, que rompiste mi corazón en miles de pedazos. 

Tú, que me hiciste recoger uno a uno esos trozos, pedazos de un espejo roto en el que antes disfrutaba mirándome.

Now, I’m collecting those shattered chunks and putting that mirror back together.

Only, I’m not sure if I’m going to like what I see in the end.

I’m letting go of the traitors and backstabbers who were never there for me when I needed them.

Mi lealtad nunca significó nada para ti.

El hecho de que me olvidara de mis propios problemas para ocuparme de los tuyos hizo que sólo obtuviera de ti un agradecimiento vacío.

But when things went downhill for me and I needed you to have my back, you pretended you couldn’t hear me.

Te volviste contra mí.

Here’s a special goodbye to a crappy life.

I’m letting go of all the life situations that made me think I was not good enough or that I was never going to be.

I’m saying goodbye to a life full of disappointment and seemingly unbearable obstacles. 

Nothing is impossible. Nothing is undoable. It’s you who is your own obstacle in everything you do.

When you think you can’t, you will never be able to.

I’m letting go of those toxic thoughts that are only bringing me down and limiting my abilities.

Por fin me he dado cuenta de que puedo hacer lo que quiera.

Tengo que esforzarme y ser persistente, no rendirme nunca. ¿Imposible?

Será imposible frenarme. 

I’m letting go of the known.

I’m walking out of my comfort zone.

Great things don’t happen in comfort zones.

You won’t discover what you’re capable of if you just keep surrounding yourself with the things you know, with something that sure and bulletproof.

Hay que arriesgar un poco y encontrar la salida a una situación desconocida o incómoda.

Es entonces cuando te construyes a ti mismo y te haces mejor y más fuerte.

I’m learning to let go of a limiting life.

I’m learning to embrace the excitement of what this new life is bringing me. 

Así que aquí estoy, dispuesta a abrazar todo lo que me espera.

Aquí estoy, feliz de dar la bienvenida a mi nueva vida y a todas las cosas que vienen con ella.

I’m ready to finally love myself enough to recognize what great potential I have rather than being a hopeless failure like others made me think.

I’m ready to give myself credit for all the good things I’ve done and am about to do.

I’m ready to tackle my dreams because I finally have the courage to.

And I’m only brave enough because I decided to leave behind everything that is not good for me. 

I’m slowly learning to become who I was supposed to be all along—a fighter, a dreamer and a real woman.

Y para hacerlo hace falta valor. Se necesita tiempo para darse cuenta de lo que es malo para ti.
