O teu coração diz-te uma coisa e tu queres muito ouvi-lo, mas a tua mente interfere e impede-te. A tua mente é a voz da razão, a voz do que deve ser correto, mas o teu coração quer fazer as coisas à sua maneira.

Although you know you should listen to what the reasonable part of you is saying, you can’t help but listen to your emotions, to something you really want to do and not something you should do just because it’s right.

O teu coração foi partido tantas vezes, so you built this cold and harsh exterior to prevent that from happening ever again. You’ve become strong and not because you wanted to, but because you had to.

Em tempos, usaste o teu coração na manga. Uma vez, deste a todos uma segunda oportunidade. Outrora, o teu coração mole estava à vista de todos. Mas alguém usou a tua bondade e alguém usou o teu coração frágil e amoroso e fez com que te fechasses e te escondesses no teu próprio sofrimento.

Negaste que alguém pudesse dar uma espreitadela ao que estava dentro de ti. Teve medo de mostrar os seus sentimentos. Tornaste-te reservado.

Your cold and harsh shell hides your vulnerability. You’ve put it on like a little black dress before going out. That is not you, it’s just how others see you. Yet, underneath that facade, there is still a girl who knows how to love. There is still a warm and caring person with a soft heart, waiting to love someone differently.

1. You know how to appreciate happiness because you’ve seen sorrow

A única coisa que sempre quiseste foi fazer os outros felizes. Querias ajudar quem precisava de ti e sempre te entregaste por inteiro, porque sabias que podias ajudar. Abriste o teu coração e deixaste toda a gente entrar. Assim, fazias-lhes ganhar o dia e ajudavas-os a resolver os seus problemas, o que também te fazia sentir melhor.

Mas muitos deles usaram a tua bondade e o teu bom coração. Muitos deles aproveitaram-se de ti quando precisaram de ti, e depois deitaram-te fora quando acabaram. Muitos deles partiram o teu coraçãozinho frágil.

2. You’ve built walls around yourself for a reason

You’re not going to let your guard down so easily now. You’ve been broken and hurt once and that was enough to lock yourself away from the world. It’s easy to act like you don’t have any feelings; it’s easy to pretend like nothing bothers you.

But if someone sticks around long enough, if someone sees right through you and knows you’re the complete opposite on the inside than from what they see on the outside, then your walls will go down. You will tear them down, because you can’t act like something you’re not for too long.

3. Usa actos e não palavras

Words don’t mean anything to you, not anymore. You’ve heard so much, you’ve been promised so much, and none of it came true. You don’t believe what others say to you and you don’t say anything yourself either. Deeds are what count and you know that.

It is hard for you to tell someone how much you love them but that’s why you are going to show it instead now. You will surprise him when he least expects it, you will send him a text out of the blue or you’re going to buy him some candy just because you are thinking of him.

4. És cauteloso, mas ainda acreditas no amor

It’s not that you don’t want to love anyone ever again. Secretamente, sonha em encontrar o seu verdadeiro amor e pensa que os dois se encaixam perfeitamente um no outro. Silenciosamente, anseia por amor, o amor que quebrará a dureza do seu rosto e deixará a suavidade do seu coração tomar conta de si.

Antes, estava quebrada, mas quando o homem certo aparecer, vai entregar-se a ele e mostrar-lhe que, por baixo desse exterior áspero, há um enorme coração e beleza para amar.

5. Há muito mais em ti do que qualquer um pode ver

People misjudge you all the time. As soon as they see you, they say you’re cold-hearted. They say you don’t have any feelings whatsoever. Then, they don’t even care about whether they hurt you or not, because they assume nothing can touch you. They couldn’t be more wrong.

Some people, like you, hide their goodness and softness and that can even be a good thing, because only the right man will figure out that your harsh exterior is just a tool to mask your soft heart. So why bother with the ones who think you’re simply cold and nothing more?
