Lee esto si estás cansado de esperar a que llegue el amor

Me pasaba todo el tiempo. Estaba tan cansado de esperando el amor para llamar a mi puerta.

Pero eso es porque esperaba que entrara en mi vida. Me presioné para deseando tanto el amor que perdí toda lógica que tenía y busqué ciegamente el amor.

You shouldn’t wait for love. Love will happen to you when you don’t ask for it.

Love will happen to you when you relax and accept the fact that things aren’t going to go your way every time.

That’s exactly how it was for me. Now, I catch myself staring at the love of my life when he’s doing stupid, everyday things. I catch myself staring at him like he’s doing something impossibly beautiful.

That’s how much I love him. I love every normal and ordinary move he makes. I love how he puts butter on his toast in the morning. I love every fiber of his being.

Y conseguí todo eso porque dejé de esperar a que surgiera el amor.

Nunca me imaginé diciendo estas cosas de nadie. Quería decirlas pero era demasiado surrealista. Esperaba compartir el amor que tenía para dar con alguien, pero nunca supe que me correspondería.

My whole life I was aching for love. I thought I was patient and I was always ready to love someone and to be loved. But now I get it that I wasn’t patient at all.

Estaba tensa y agitada porque el amor nunca llamaba a mi puerta. Deseaba tanto que viniera, pero no se veía amor alguno.

Tenía relaciones, pero mis excusas eran que el momento no es el adecuado, or I had some issues of my own and I didn’t want to unleash my problems on someone else. Or, I was in a relationship, but that wasn’t love.

That wasn’t the feeling of butterflies in your stomach. I didn’t go to bed thinking about him or waking up doing the same. That just wasn’t love.

Our whole lives we are searching for our soulmate. That’s what it all comes down to.

Queremos a alguien con quien acurrucarnos, alguien con quien compartir nuestros problemas y alguien con quien volver a casa al final del día.

Eso nos lleva a conformarnos con la primera persona que llega en el momento adecuado, en realidad completamente equivocado.

Instead of giving our own lives some meaning and devotion to ourselves—working on ourselves, making ourselves better—we ache for something that will come, but not yet.

We lose most of our lives wanting something that we shouldn’t have to want yet.

El amor te encontrará cuando estés preparado para aceptarlo.

Estamos solteros por una razón. Por algo nos rompen el corazón. Todo esto forma parte del viaje que nos convierte en personas más completas, más inteligentes y mejores, que un día estarán preparadas para amar con todo su corazón.

Y porque anduvimos por los caminos llenos de baches de nuestra vida, porque nos caímos y nos magullamos, nos hacemos más fuertes después.

Nos hacemos más fuertes y por fin estamos preparados para el hermoso reino del amor verdadero.

Keep waiting and be patient. Believe me—it will pay off in the end. Don’t fool yourself that you are becoming desperate because you really have plenty of time.

Don’t convince yourself that you’ve met your true love because that person will keep you from conocer al elegido que se suponía que te ibas a encontrar.

Cuando por fin hagas las paces contigo misma y te dejes llevar por la magia de la vida, él vendrá.

I wish someone had told me this. I wish someone had told me I have to be alone to figure out my personal ‘manuals’ and the way I operate.

Ojalá alguien me hubiera dicho que la soledad me traerá la mayor felicidad que jamás haya experimentado.

Ojalá hubiera sabido que primero tenía que quererme y respetarme a mí misma si quería que otra persona hiciera lo mismo.

For a long time, I thought I was unlovable. I thought that I am never going to find love because I’m broken. I was born with a mistake that can’t be undone.

I thought that’s just the way life is. I wanted to change so many times.

Quería que me quisieran, así que me amoldé a lo que los demás querían.

Eso nunca duró porque yo no era así. Y pensé que era una causa perdida. Pensé que nunca iba a tener un final feliz. Pero entonces encontré a un hombre cuando menos lo esperaba.

Everything was so easy with him. I didn’t have to pretend to be something that I’m not. I was the person who I always was. I was finally myself and someone loved me for that.

I really didn’t see him coming. I thought I was supposed to be alone a few more years because frankly, Yo era feliz solo.

I found myself and I was happy with my life and with whom I have become. I didn’t think I was ready to love.

But there he came—barging in at the apparently right time.

No era nada de lo que esperaba que fuera. Era completamente diferente de lo que había imaginado. Y el tuyo también lo será.

He won’t have the features you’ve imagined, but he’ll have that special ‘something’ that will sweep you off your feet.

Merece la pena esperar al hombre adecuado.

Don’t you ever settle for someone just because you are scared or lonely. He will never love you the way you were made to be loved. He will never make you happy the way you were meant to be happy.

Don’t settle for the mediocre feeling when the right one is waiting for you. The right love is waiting for you to stop waiting for it to happen.

Me detuve.
