Un giorno, il dolore che provate ora avrà un senso

You’re a mess, and nothing’s going right. Your eyes are swollen from all the crying, and your body is too tired get out of bed anymore. You feel like your heart could burst at any moment and you don’t seem to be doing any better. It’s been weeks of feeling this way…Quando dovrebbe iniziare a sentirsi meglio?

You are overwhelmed by the array of emotions that are consuming you, and all you are able to do is just let them. You can’t combatterlo anymore. The pain is too much, and you don’t know how you’ll ever survive this.

The thing about pain is, it needs to be felt in order for you to heal properly and be able to get over it. The pain is there to teach you that you are stronger than you think. It’s there to show you what you’re really made of and how much you are capable of enduring. You’ll be surprised at how tough you are and how much you can take.

Devi lasciare che il dolore si impossessi di te. Abbandonatevi all'agonia che state provando in questo momento. Lasciate che vi consumi e attraversi il vostro corpo come una tempesta in una giornata di vento. Lasciate che si insinui e rimanga per tutto il tempo necessario, e un giorno sarete migliori per questo.

That is how pain works. It arrives as an uninvited guest when you least expect it, and it lingers longer than you would like it to.. but be patient. When it finally goes away, you will feel like a new person who’s ready to take over the world. There will be nothing you won’t be able to conquer.

Datevi il tempo di arrivarci.

Just remember. When you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, crying on the kitchen floor, surrounded by more bottles of wine than you would like to admit, and feeling like this is the lowest you could possibly get, THAT is when you need to make a choice.

This is the moment that will make you or break you. This is the time you need to decide if you’re going to pick up all of your broken pieces, get up from that floor and decide that you’ve had enough. You are at your lowest, and you can’t even see your face from all the mascara that is smudged across your face. This is exactly when you need to decide that this is the last time you’ve done this to yourself.

Nessuno vi aiuterà se prima non aiutate voi stessi. Dovete VOLERE stare meglio, per sentirvi davvero meglio.

This feeling won’t last forever. I know it seems as if the sun has set on your happier days, but there is so much more sunshine waiting for you. All you need is to want to get rid of that cloud of misery that is hanging above you so dimly.

E un giorno potrete guardare indietro a questo periodo triste e provare un senso di orgoglio incontenibile per quello che siete riusciti a fare per sopravvivere.

Un giorno potrete svegliarvi dal letto che un tempo condividevate con lui e alzarvi con una visione positiva della vita. In quel momento, l'infelicità non avrà più nulla a che fare con voi. Sarà sparita dal vostro corpo e dalla vostra anima e vi sentirete come una persona nuova di zecca che può fare tutto ciò che si prefigge.

E sapete perché?

Because you welcomed your pain with open arms. You embraced it and let it stay for a little while, for as long as it took for you to get to the place you’re at now. And aren’t you glad you did?

Grazie a quel dolore, ora sapete quanto siete forti. Grazie a quel dolore, siete in grado di apprezzare la calma che provate in questo momento. E grazie a quel dolore, vi sentite pronti a entrare di nuovo nella luce e a lasciarvi sentire di nuovo.

To those still trying to weather the storm, feeling like a lost cause—you will get through this, I promise. It always feels like the end of the world when life blindsides you like this, but one day, you’ll realize that you are the only one keeping yourself from healing. And that is when you’ll decide enough is enough and do everything you can to get yourself back to that happy place.

Un giorno potrebbe non essere domani o addirittura la prossima settimana. Ma succederà, e quando succederà, vedrete che tutte le lacrime e le notti insonni ne sono valse la pena, perché sono quelle che vi hanno portato fin qui.

Resistete ancora un po'.
