Te rompió pero recuperarás tu chispa

Cuando alguien que significaba el mundo para ti se aleja, todo el mundo piensa que lo que más duele es la rotura de tu corazón.

I won’t lie to you—having it crushed into millions of pieces is devastating and painful and often looks like the biggest disaster of all time.

Al principio, el shock inicial te adormece.

You’re in denial and refuse to accept that something like this has happened.

Te niegas a enfrentarte a las partes de tu corazón que necesitas reconstruir y asumes que reprimir tus emociones te hará sentir mejor.

However, after a little while, all the pain hits you and to put it mildly, it starts to feel like you’ve been stabbed in the stomach.

It’s almost like you’re going through physical pain that prevents you from breathing properly and which you can’t explain.

You know you’re safe and sound but you feel dead on the inside.

Naturalmente, piensas que esta sensación nunca desaparecerá.

You assume that you’ll spend the rest of your life walking around with this incredibly heavy rock in your gut and that every morning you wake up will be just a new agony.

Sin embargo, tl dolor desaparece tarde o temprano. Pasas por diferentes etapas que terminan con la aceptación y, tarde o temprano, el desamor deja de ser lo único en lo que piensas.

Of course, this doesn’t happen overnight, since it is a process that takes a lot of effort and energy. Nevertheless, eventually, time does its magic and it stitches your broken heart.

Das pequeños pasos y, al cabo de un tiempo, aprendes a respirar de nuevo. Te sorprendes a ti mismo sonriendo y surge la esperanza.

You think that this is it—you’re officially saved. Your el corazón roto se cura and you’re good to go.

Well, sadly, things don’t work that way. Because what hurts more than a shattered heart is the consequences this awful experience leaves on you.

That is exactly what happened to you. This man didn’t just break your heart—he broke you as well.

Cambió la persona que eras antes de conocerle. Mató a la chica inocente e ingenua que creía en la gente y que tenía fe en el amor.

Hizo desaparecer a la verdadera tú y te sustituyó por esta mujer amargada, negativa y cínica que no confía en nadie.

He erased the girl who followed her heart’s lead no matter what and instead, brought about a disappointed, guarded and overly careful woman who is trying her best to shut off her emotions because she is con miedo al amor.

Most importantly—te quitó la chispa. Mató tu espíritu y destruyó tu optimismo y entusiasmo.

Este hombre te convirtió en un muerto viviente.

En algún momento, dejaste de vivir y empezaste a existir, y hay una gran diferencia entre ambas cosas.

Let’s be honest—when was the last time you caught yourself being truly happy, without any specific reason?

¿La última vez que te emocionaron cosas tan sencillas como darte un chapuzón en el mar o ver una increíble puesta de sol?

You can’t remember, right? Well, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

No obstante, even though you accepted the new you, I’m here to tell you that things won’t always be like this.

Te prometo que uno de estos días, tu chispa volverá. Llegará inesperadamente, llamando a tu puerta, y nunca más te abandonará.

Don’t push yourself too hard and give yourself enough time to completely heal but remember that this will pass, the same way your heartbreak did.

You didn’t  piérdete forever and you’ll get the girl you used to be back. Just be patient and don’t think about giving up just yet.

I won’t lie to you—the scars on your soul will remain there forever.

Te servirán como recordatorio de las batallas que pasaste y, lo que es más importante, como recuerdo de cómo conseguiste sobrevivir.

Sin embargo, you’ll manage to pick up the broken pieces of yourself and glue yourself back together.

You’ll succeed in rebuilding yourself to make an even stronger, updated version of the girl you once were.

¿Y sabes por qué? Porque no matter what happens, what you go through or what some evil people do to you, you’re never broken beyond repair.
