Estou a aprender lentamente a deixar de lado as coisas que não são boas para mim

Tenho sido paciente na vida há muito tempo.

I’ve taken everything bad that anyone ever said to me and I stored it deep inside.

I’ve waited and waited because I thought things would change, that people would change, that destiny would go easy on me and pay me back by letting good things happen.

Tudo isso está prestes a mudar.

I’ve realized something.

I’ve realized that waiting for things to happen, waiting for things to change, is a lost cause.

Nothing will ever be different if I don’t take my destiny into my own hands. 

This time, I’m slowly starting to realize that.

I’m slowly learning to let go of everything that bothers me and people who don’t value me. 

First, people. I’m letting go of all of you who never did anything good for me; if anything, you always made me feel bad.

I’m saying goodbye to the heartbreakers.

Tu, que partiste o meu coração em milhares de pedaços. 

Tu, que me fizeste apanhar esses pedaços um a um, pedaços de um espelho partido que eu gostava de ver.

Now, I’m collecting those shattered chunks and putting that mirror back together.

Only, I’m not sure if I’m going to like what I see in the end.

I’m letting go of the traitors and backstabbers who were never there for me when I needed them.

A minha lealdade nunca significou nada para ti.

O facto de me ter esquecido dos meus problemas para tratar dos teus fez com que só recebesse um agradecimento vazio da tua parte.

But when things went downhill for me and I needed you to have my back, you pretended you couldn’t hear me.

Tu viraste-te contra mim.

Here’s a special goodbye to a crappy life.

I’m letting go of all the life situations that made me think I was not good enough or that I was never going to be.

I’m saying goodbye to a life full of disappointment and seemingly unbearable obstacles. 

Nothing is impossible. Nothing is undoable. It’s you who is your own obstacle in everything you do.

When you think you can’t, you will never be able to.

I’m letting go of those toxic thoughts that are only bringing me down and limiting my abilities.

Finalmente percebi que posso fazer o que quiser.

Tenho de me esforçar e de ser persistente, de nunca desistir. Impossível?

Será impossível abrandar-me. 

I’m letting go of the known.

I’m walking out of my comfort zone.

Great things don’t happen in comfort zones.

You won’t discover what you’re capable of if you just keep surrounding yourself with the things you know, with something that sure and bulletproof.

É preciso arriscar um pouco e encontrar a saída para uma situação desconhecida ou incómoda.

É nessa altura que nos construímos e nos tornamos melhores e mais fortes.

I’m learning to let go of a limiting life.

I’m learning to embrace the excitement of what this new life is bringing me. 

Por isso, aqui estou eu, pronta para abraçar tudo o que me espera.

Aqui estou eu, feliz por dar as boas-vindas à minha nova vida e a todas as coisas que a acompanham.

I’m ready to finally love myself enough to recognize what great potential I have rather than being a hopeless failure like others made me think.

I’m ready to give myself credit for all the good things I’ve done and am about to do.

I’m ready to tackle my dreams because I finally have the courage to.

And I’m only brave enough because I decided to leave behind everything that is not good for me. 

I’m slowly learning to become who I was supposed to be all along—a fighter, a dreamer and a real woman.

E para o fazer é preciso coragem. É preciso tempo para perceber o que é mau para nós.
