A la chica que necesita dejar de intentar salvar a gente tóxica
It’s a hard thing to realize that you’re attracting toxic people—let alone realizing that you’re trying to save them, too. You’re someone who knows you were born to help others.
Sabes que llevas en la sangre el hacer que la gente encuentre su camino y se convierta en la persona que siempre ha estado destinada a ser. Pero también sabes que hay una línea que, por alguna razón, siempre se cruza.
Eres el tipo de persona que pondría su vida en peligro para salvar a cualquiera.
And even though that’s an amazing trait, it leaves you open to being taken advantage of and hurt constantly—which you’ve had to deal with plenty of times before.
The thing is though, you don’t need to deal with it from toxic people.
You don’t need to stop helping people, but you do need to stop trying to help gente tóxica. You have to start deciding: who deserves you in their life and who doesn’t?
Lo más difícil de ser un ahorrador y una persona que haría cualquier cosa por ayudar a otra es que das demasiado de ti mismo.
And you don’t ask for anything in return—which leaves you hurting and empty after an encounter with a toxic person.
En lo que tienes que centrarte es en ti mismo y en lo que necesitas, así como en lo que necesitan los demás. Estás tan inclinado a dar prioridad a los demás que olvidas lo importante que es cuidar de ti mismo y de lo que necesitas.
Life is too short to not be enjoying it. And yes, saving people is just what you do, but you can’t save toxic people.
Toxic people will drain, manipulate, and hurt you—no matter how much they need help and someone in their corner. That person can not be you.
You’re too kind, too giving, and you have a hard time standing up for yourself. Now this is in no way bad.
Pero una vez que una persona tóxica se apodera de ti, puede cambiarte para peor.
Empiezan a hacerte sentir enfadado y dolido por el don que tienes. Te hacen sentir que el mundo no tiene remedio y que lo único que harán es herirte y utilizarte.
You’ll go down a path that will kill you from the inside out. And it will be terribly hard to find the person you used to be—the one who only ever wanted to help others.
It’s going to be hard to say no. These people are going to make you want to cave in and want to help them, but you know all too well what will happen.
So, please stay strong. Don’t let people who don’t care about your amazing outlook on the world and its people change you. Sólo te harán sentir miserable.
Toxic people will always be toxic. It’s something they have inside that won’t change unless they change it themselves.
Y cuando se trata de gente como tú, gente que tiene un corazón de oro, se aprovechan de ti todo lo que pueden.
Because deep down, they wish that your heart was theirs, and they wish that the world wasn’t so cruel to them and so good to you.
Little do they know, it’s not the world who’s been cruel, it is them.
But they end up trying to make you a cruel person because they are jealous. It’s a cycle that isn’t fair, but you can stop it.
Cuando conoces a una persona tóxica, no importa si la quieres o no, tienes que marcharte.
You need to remind yourself that your gift of helping people needs to go to those who deserve it—the people who always give something back.
These are the people who will appreciate you and all you do for them and will never make you feel hurt or like you aren’t getting anything in return.
Your life, and everyone’s for that matter, is hard enough as it is. So, stop trying to fix those who don’t want to be fixed.
It will save you so much heartache and it will remind you that some people don’t deserve someone as good as you in their lives.
