No Elegí Enamorarme De Ti, Pero Ahora Elijo Dejarte
Cuando nos conocimos, me enamoré al instante. Eso es algo que no podía controlar.
El corazón hizo lo suyo y yo estaba indefenso.
While being in love, I felt so high and I couldn’t even imagine the inevitable fall would be so brutal. But it was.
Los que aman con locura parecen hacerse mucho daño. I can’t believe I didn’t see it coming.
Me hicieron falta tantas bofetadas del universo para hacerme ver por fin: He doesn’t love me, he’s using me.

Casi nunca encuentra tiempo para mí, todo lo demás es más importante.
He treats me like my opinions don’t matter, like I’m a child, and every time I confront him, he tells me I’m overreacting.
Juega con mi cabeza y me hace sentir loca mientras siempre inventa una excusa para sí mismo.
Every time I try to express my feelings, he’s there to tell me I’m making things up. That’s why I choose to leave you.

Elijo dejarte porque me siento incómoda siendo yo misma a tu lado. Elijo dejarte porque ahora conozco mi autoestima.
Elijo dejarte porque sé que me esperan cosas mejores.
I’m leaving you because I don’t want to become what you think of me. I want to be myself.
I want to live free of your judgment. I deserve to be loved as I am, not as you want me to be. I’m enough on my own.

From now on, I’m taking care of myself. I’m embracing everything I once didn’t like about myself.
I accept my body and, most importantly, I accept my whole personality – my good sides as well as my flaws.
All of those things make me who I am. I don’t care what you think of me anymore; I escaped your love spell.
Puede que me duela en el proceso, pero te superaré por completo. El tiempo será mi sanador y yo seré mi propio maestro.
I’ll teach myself to set boundaries higher, to do things I always said I couldn’t.

I will silence the voices that tell me I’m not good enough. I will remove you from my heart and brain.
I’m strong enough to let go of everything that’s blocking my growth. If you don’t love me for who I am, I don’t need you in my life.
There’s no point in clinging onto someone who makes you feel miserable.
Merezco algo mejor que un amor débil y falta de confianza, peleas constantes y no sentirme segura. Merezco algo mejor que un hombre-niño.

My worth won’t be defined on any terms other than my own. From now on, I’m aware of my value and I’m not dropping it for anyone.
Un hombre es suficiente para enseñarte a tener cuidado con tu corazón. Un hombre es suficiente para hacerte cautelosa para siempre.
You were a steep learning curve for me, but now I’m done with you and any man alike forever.
I’m finally ready to leave you and everything about this relationship behind.

I’m ready to learn from the mistakes I made and let things go.
A partir de ahora, aprender de mis errores es la única regla que tengo para mí, todo lo demás es libre de experimentar.
You showed me that I’m denying myself happiness by listening to other people and following their rules.
Now that’s finally over.
I’m not afraid to be myself completely. I’m not ashamed of my flaws and that makes me strong.

Instead, I’m learning to appreciate my flaws and thank them for making me different from everyone else.
I’m not here to be loved for something I’m not; that’s not how I want to live my life.
In a way, you were the worst and best thing that happened to me because now I know what I don’t want in life.
Now I know I don’t need anyone to make me feel complete.
Only I can make myself complete and that’s exactly what I’m doing by leaving you.
