I refuse to put people through the pain that I\u2019ve been through. I refuse to shut my heart down, just because it was hurt. I refuse to contain my love, just because it seems too much for others to handle. Because love is not meant to be handled; it\u2019s meant to be admired and just felt.<\/p>\r\n
Just because I let myself feel, it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m weak.<\/strong> I\u2019m just as badass and fierce as anyone out there. I\u2019m brave for embracing my emotions, for not hiding them away from the world. I\u2019m brave for letting myself feel, because I refuse to admit that emotions make someone weak.<\/p>\r\n They\u2019re the fire in your eyes, the warmth of your soul and the beauty of your being. They\u2019re the light that shines on you and the rain when you need it. They\u2019re what makes me extraordinary, what makes me who I am.<\/p>\r\n Just because I have a gentle heart, it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m weak.<\/strong> I never got the chance to choose what kind of a heart I was going to get, but I get to choose how I treat it. And I\u2019m not going to hide it away just because it\u2019s gentle. I\u2019m not going to shut it off, because it needs love.<\/p>\r\n Necesita sentir. Y por fin me niego a avergonzarme por tener un coraz\u00f3n tierno, porque mi coraz\u00f3n tierno es lo que alimenta el fuego que hay en m\u00ed. Todas esas emociones locas que tiene son las que me hacen seguir adelante. Todo ese amor es lo que me da fuerza y valor. Y me niego a que me lo arrebaten.<\/p>\r\n Just because I lower my walls, it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m weak.<\/strong> I\u2019ve been hurt, broken and intoxicated with the words of other people. I was made to believe that I was too weak, that I was too much to handle.<\/p>\r\n As\u00ed que intent\u00e9 apagar mis emociones y construir muros tan altos que nada pudiera atravesarlos. Pero dentro de esos muros, me mor\u00eda de fr\u00edo. Dentro de esos muros, estaba sola y el silencio me ensordec\u00eda. Dentro de esos muros, estaba a oscuras.<\/p>\r\n Emotions can\u2019t be shut down. They don\u2019t come with a switch and instructions on how to use them.<\/strong> My emotions are the wildest part of me, something I\u2019m proud to have. Something that\u2019s too fierce to be tamed. Just because my walls tumbled down, it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m weak.<\/p>\r\n Just because I opened myself up to the world, doesn\u2019t mean that your words will hurt me. Because all those emotions you said were my weakness, they\u2019re my shield now. That crazy love is what keeps me warm, those rivers of tears are what keep me safe and that gentle heart of mine is my greatest badge of honor.<\/p>\r\n I may cry because of silly movies, I may get broken too many times because I trust everyone, I may get hurt just because I dare to believe. But that doesn\u2019t make me weak. It makes me one hell of a warrior.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n I\u2019m always the one who is said to be \u2018too emotional\u2019. The one who cries when a puppy dies in a movie, the one who has a gentle heart but who is not afraid to wear it on her sleeve for the whole world to see. I\u2019m always the one they call weak, just because…<\/p>","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":14244,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29619],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stories-love"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":29619,"label":"stories"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/darkness-490553-3.jpg",800,549,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"Tara Brown","author_link":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/author\/tara-brown\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":29619,"name":"stories","slug":"stories-love","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":29619,"taxonomy":"category","description":"To all the souls struggling with complicated love experiences: These heartfelt stories about love, heartbreak, and moving on will be your voice of wisdom.","parent":38,"count":424,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":29619,"category_count":424,"category_description":"To all the souls struggling with complicated love experiences: These heartfelt stories about love, heartbreak, and moving on will be your voice of wisdom.","cat_name":"stories","category_nicename":"stories-love","category_parent":38}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/herway.net\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/herway.net-21.jpg\")
