Caro ex: non sono più la ragazza che conoscevi una volta
Mi hai cambiato e amo il nuovo me stesso.
I no longer naively trust you, because now I know your word means shit. I no longer secretly hope that you might show up at my doorstep, having realized what an asshole you were for leaving me, because I know you’re not coming and I know you’re not sorry.
Even if you did knock on my door again, I probably wouldn’t answer. I no longer take chances on a man who took exactly two seconds to decide to dump me and non guardare mai indietro.
Never again will I foolishly blame myself for your mistakes and wrongdoings because now I know it’s most definitely not me. It’s you. It was always you.
See… now I know that I am indeed abbastanza buono. Ora so che quello che ho da offrire è sostanziale, degno e genuino, e chi mi fa sentire inadeguato per questo ha dei problemi e può andare a farsi fottere. (leggi: te stesso).
There are so many lessons I’ve come to embrace with your departure. First one – I am so much stronger than both of us ever imagined. I am capable of enduring this heartbreak and thriving again. I am smarter with my decisions when it comes to men, and I am oh so much wiser.
I cambiamenti che sento dentro di me da quando mi hai lasciato mi hanno reso più aperto all'amore, a nuove possibilità e al modo in cui mi vedo.
Grazie, mio caro, dolce ex. Grazie per avermi insegnato esattamente cosa non accogliere mai più nella mia vita.
Thank you for making me see through all the crap I am never going to tolerate again, and for teaching me how to stand up for myself. I was always such a sucker for love… but not anymore. You made sure of it.
Now, I’ve finally embraced my life for what it is. I have entered the dating pool again, and finally, I no longer compare anyone to you. I no longer wish to see your face across from me at the dinner table, and I no longer crave your voice that is feeding me just what I need to hear.
I don’t push guys away from me anymore because I know I deserve to find somebody who will show me love, kindness and honesty.
You thought you did a real number on me, didn’t you? I hope it kills you to see me prospering and seeking any opportunity I come across to be happy without you. Because that’s exactly what I’m doing. And I love every second of it.
I’m not going to sit here and say I never think about you anymore. I do, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. But the good thing is, with every single day, I feel you vanishing from my mind, little by little, and that is what I find solace in. Slowly, but surely… I am erasing you from my memory. Like you never existed.
Perché, lasciatemelo dire. Non sono più la ragazza che conoscevate un tempo. Neanche per sogno. Non sono più la ragazza che si mette al primo posto e che ama il suo uomo più di se stessa. No, signore. Ora le priorità sono cambiate e io metto me stessa al primo posto.
E mi piace la ragazza che sto diventando. Mi piace la mia nuova forza, il mio ritrovato potere interiore e la mia nuova e migliore visione della vita.
I love how I didn’t let you destroy me for love. I am proud at how brave and strong I’ve stayed, and even though there were some dark times… I am finally rising above them. I am a whole new woman who doesn’t take crap from a weak boy, not anymore.
Your inability to love me the way you should’ve loved me has changed me into the kind of woman who has finally learned to love herself, flaws and all.
E tutti quegli anni trascorsi con te non sono stati altro che una dura lezione, senza la quale non sarei stata in grado di essere la donna che sono oggi.
Quindi, la prossima volta che mi vedete, sappiate che you didn’t break me. Instead, you’ve turned me into a new woman who loves the shit out of herself, her life, and knows exactly what’s worth fighting for and what isn’t worth her attention.
La mia vita, la mia storia. E d'ora in poi, sono l'unica incaricata di scriverla!
