Sé que soy un guardián, sólo necesito que me quieran de otra manera

Soy alguien a quien han hecho daño. Le pasa a mucha gente, pero no todo el mundo decide enfrentarse a su miedo y volver a darle una oportunidad al amor.

After being manipulated, rejected, and lied to, I wanted to give up on love. But I didn’t.

As crazy as it seems, all those negative experiences have made me believe there’s more to life than pain. Through every painful situation, I’ve grown stronger.

Muchas veces me convencí de que algo era lo mejor para mí, pero luego descubrí que era algo que quería por razones equivocadas y que en realidad nunca necesité.

I’m proud of my ability to learn from my mistakes. I’m proud of myself for never giving up on people despite the things they did to me. Including my past lovers.

I don’t want to let it break me. I want to stay vulnerable and love again because I know I deserve love.

I know how much I can love somebody else too. All this pain has made me understand every little thing in life even more. I don’t want to let my love go to waste.

The only thing is – I will need a special person who will understand me and have the patience I need.

So how does one go about loving a person that’s been hurt? There are a few things to keep in mind.

Permíteme tiempo suficiente para sanar. Healing is a process, and for most people, it doesn’t end in a moment.

Sometimes it takes years, but that doesn’t mean it should make our relationship any worse.

The process of healing is great for knowing each other on a deep level. When you’re faced with a person’s deepest fears and accept them nevertheless, that’s when you know you love them for real.

Hazme saber que me escuchas. Escuchar es tan importante para las personas que han sido menospreciadas constantemente. Necesito saber que te importo.

That’s one of the easiest ways to show a person you care for them – just listen to them.

Sé sincero conmigo. Anyone who’s been lied to knows the struggle of trusting again. I promise I won’t compare you to him, just be honest with me at all times.

There’s no need for white lies either, everything can be understood when said with respect.

Dime a menudo las cosas que te gustan de mí. I don’t want to come off as needy, but just saying out loud what you already think will make a big difference.

I will feel safer and happier. Talking about feelings isn’t going to make you seem weak. On the contrary, it will make you more attractive. There’s nothing more attractive than a guy who openly loves his girl.

Necesito que seas paciente. Prometo que valdrá la pena. If you see me going through some tough period, don’t run away. That’s the time I need you the most.

If you stick with me when I’m going through my worst, I will stick with you forever.

Don’t try to make me be something I’m not. Acéptame como soy. Desordenada, emocional, a veces asustada, pero siempre dispuesta a amar.

No matter what happens, I will always love being human – that means I will allow myself to feel everything I need to feel.

Siempre dejaré que tú también seas todo lo que necesites ser. Juntos podemos atravesar todos los miedos y luchas que tengamos y hacer que nuestro vínculo sea tan fuerte que dure para siempre.

Aceptar mi pasado y dejarlo donde está. I’m content with my past and I don’t want to change it. You shouldn’t be upset with it either.

Every day is a new day, and we’re changing and evolving all the time. That’s why we should focus on our future.

What I want is the purest and deepest kind of love you can only find in girls who suffered the most – girls like me.

Ahora quiero ser la chica que más ama. Quiero ser la que conserves para siempre.
