No puedes querer a alguien para que te quiera a ti

Por duro y devastador que pueda sonar, es cierto: no puedes amar a alguien para que te ame.

You can wait and hope, you can try to impress them, but nothing will work if they don’t feel the same.

Nothing will help; not romanticizing the conversations you had or talking to your friends who will look for the smallest signs of affection…

Don’t feed your feelings with memories, it’s only going to make things worse.

That’s the worst feeling ever; the feeling like you’re not enough for the person you love with all your heart and soul.

If they don’t feel the same, there’s nothing you can do.

There’s no point in trying to change yourself to fit their needs or likes. Nobody can change themself completely and be happy and it doesn’t guarantee you success.

If someone doesn’t like you as you are, why would you like to spend your time with them? They’re obviously not the right person for you.

There’s no point in waiting for somebody to catch feelings for you.

Firstly, it’s not likely that that will happen and secondly, it is degrading to wait for someone to decide you’re lovable enough.

Nobody should settle for halfway love. Love is the one thing in life you don’t settle for but genuinely and truly enjoy. It’s what makes your life.  

Love is an unpredictable feeling—you never know when will it show up and when it’s gone. It doesn’t follow rules and it’s not logic. You can’t plan or predict love.

Sin embargo, el efecto del amor en nuestra vida es siempre enorme.

That’s one thing people keep searching for their whole life, consciously or subconsciously.

It’s funny how little it takes to fall in love and be completely immersed in another person and how long and painful the process of forgetting them is.

It’s no wonder why many people just give up on love and close their hearts forever. When you give nothing but love but receive pain and rejection, it makes you want to protect your heart.

Todo signo de defensividad es señal de un corazón que una vez amó demasiado.

Estar a la defensiva es una forma de protegernos del dolor. A pesar del dolor y el rechazo, abogo por mantener el corazón vulnerable.

¿Por qué?

Acumular más dolor y rechazar el amor acabará provocando más dolor. Por otro lado, un corazón vulnerable tiene más probabilidades de encontrar y reconocer un corazón similar, aunque tarde un poco.

Keeping your heart open and vulnerable is believing in love. A love that doesn’t judge and puts you second; a love that’s pure and doesn’t take advantage.

Cuando experimentes ese tipo de amor, sabrás que todo lo anterior no era más que preparación. Cada dolor que experimentes de repente tendrá sentido.

You’re worthy of the love that will always put you first and consider your feelings before anything else.

You’re worthy of a man who will accept you as you are and make you love yourself.

True love will shed light on you and reveal the person you are at your best. Your true potential will shine through and even when you’re not at your best, it will know that’s just a momentary weakness that will pass.

Nadie es perfecto, pero el amor auténtico es lo más parecido a la perfección.

Una relación es el compromiso de dos personas que se protegen y se respetan más que a nada en el mundo.

When you’re with the person who understands that, you won’t feel the need to convince them.

Te querrán con facilidad y vuestra relación no supondrá ningún esfuerzo porque siempre sabrás el verdadero significado que hay detrás de todo lo que haces.

You’ll always have a safe place to come back to.

Don’t lose hope because of one person who was busy with their own challenges but keep believing in love because of that one person who will make your life complete.

Como siempre, todo lo bueno ocurre cuando menos te lo esperas y lo mejor de todo será el amor que te mereces.
