So di essere un custode, ho solo bisogno di essere amato in modo diverso

Sono una persona che è stata ferita. Succede a molte persone, ma non tutti decidono di affrontare le proprie paure e dare di nuovo una possibilità all'amore.

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.

Tante volte mi sono convinta che qualcosa fosse giusto per me, per poi scoprire che era qualcosa che volevo per i motivi sbagliati e di cui non avevo mai avuto bisogno.

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.

Lasciatemi il tempo necessario per guarire. 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.

Fatemi sapere che mi ascoltate. L'ascolto è così importante per le persone che sono state costantemente messe da parte. Ho bisogno di sapere che vi preoccupate per me.

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

Siate onesti con me. 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.

Ditemi spesso le cose che amate di me. 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.

Ho bisogno che siate pazienti. Vi prometto che ne varrà 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. Accettatemi così come sono. Disordinata, emotiva, a volte spaventata, ma sempre pronta ad amare.

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

Ti permetterò sempre di essere tutto ciò che hai bisogno di essere anche tu. Insieme possiamo affrontare ogni paura e lotta e rendere il nostro legame così forte da durare per sempre.

Accettare il mio passato e lasciarlo dov'è. 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.

Ora voglio essere la ragazza che ama di più. Voglio essere quella che terrai per sempre.
