No vuelvas con tu antiguo amor: ya sabes cómo acaba

Le echas de menos. Sé que le echas de menos.

Echas de menos su bonita sonrisa de niño y su adorable sonrisa de oreja a oreja cuando intentabas enfadarte con él por molestarte con algo que ahora te parece tan ridículo.

Echas de menos esos pequeños y preciosos momentos con él, después de haber tenido un largo día, y que te iluminara nada más entrar en casa. Echas de menos que solo pensar en él esperándote en ese sofá te hiciera tan feliz.

It’s all those small things that you may have taken for granted at the time, but that now make you feel so empty and hollow. You feel like there is a genuine part missing from yourself, and you don’t know how to fill that void that is churning in your chest.

Y you’re sick and tired of feeling this way. Sólo necesitas que pare.

Let me tell you something. The thing you miss the most is not HIM. It’s how you felt when you knew you had him around. But remember this. You broke up for a reason. A good reason. You just need to remind yourself of all the ways he made you feel insufficient and inadequate and stop idealizing him in your head. If it were REALLY that good, don’t you think you would still be together?

Hiciste todo lo que pudiste. Hiciste todo lo que pudiste para salvar tu relación, y al final, your best just wasn’t enough más.

Don’t beat yourself up now that the story has come to an end. There is nothing left to be written. Let it go; give yourself a chance to heal.

Cuando te encuentras con ganas de enviarle un mensaje de texto, please don’t. When you feel yourself wanting to talk to him, call your bestie instead! But whatever you do, don’t give him so much space in your head and your heart.

Ya no pertenece allí.

Este sentimiento actual de fragilidad no va a durar para siempre. Así es como te sientes ahora. Es totalmente comprensible, pero debes saber que pasará. Acabas de perder algo que formaba parte integral de tu vida y necesitas darte tiempo para aprender a vivir sin ello.

It is insane to think that going back to him would change anything. Don’t be tempted. He is still the same person that made you feel so shitty at times. He’s still the same person who couldn’t find the time for you when you needed him the most! And he is still the person who didn’t FIGHT for you when your relationship was going to hell. It was all you and your effort.

Aren’t you tired of always being the only one giving it your all?

It is normal to miss him sometimes. After all, you spent a significant amount of life together. You were so used to having him by your side that now you just don’t know how to function any other way.

But don’t live in the past. It’s there for a reason. For as long as you keep clinging onto that tiny glimmer of hope that things MIGHT get better someday and that he might change, you will be doing yourself a huge disservice by not allowing yourself to live your life in the present, y reviviendo continuamente momentos del pasado, momentos que en realidad son sólo destaca de una relación que ya no tenía sentido.

Querida, ¡te mereces mucho más de lo que él podría ofrecerte! Te mereces vivir tu vida AHORA y encontrar tu felicidad en tu presente.

He doesn’t deserve to have you still hung up on him when there are so many guys out there that could be your ONE.

Don’t let memories of your past diminish the light that you deserve in your present.

El futuro puede ser tan brillante. Sólo tienes que dejar que vuelva a brillar.

ÉL es tu pasado. ¡Déjalo ahí!
