Para a rapariga que merece muito mais

Caro “Future Me”,

 

Cá vamos nós outra vez. Tudo de novo. Mais um desgosto. Mais uma desilusão.

Mais dor. Tanta dor.

Quantos idiotas me separam da realidade? Quanta miséria posso aguentar?

I’m done. I really am. I deserve better.

I know it is fine to cry your eyes out. I know that no one will blame me if I refuse to get up from bed for a few days. I know that’s all part of the ‘getting better’ process.

It’s just that I decided I won’t be going through that again. I’m done reliving that chapter of the book on my life.

A realidade deu-me uma bofetada na cara com muita força. It showed me that nothing is worth my pain and my suffering. Everything will be pointless if I lose myself—if I give in to defeat.

I’m not a loser. I can admit I’ve been beaten down, but I won’t accept it. I’m a fighter. I know what I deserve, and it’s not heartbreak.

It’s time to move on. It’s time to write a new story of my life all by myself. It’s time to forget about that sorry ass of a man who didn’t know how to love and respect me.

One day, he will see what a huge mistake he has made, and he will regret it. He will want me back. But, I will laugh in his face: “Goodbye honey, I’m done.”

Now, it’s time to rebuild myself. I need to find my self-worth and self-confidence again. You made me misplace it. You made me ignore my own well-being.

Fizeste-me ter medo do meu próprio futuro.

Preciso de aprender com os meus erros. Já estou a fazê-lo. Nunca mais vou deixar alguém pegar no meu coração e brincar com ele até se aborrecer. Eu mereço muito mais do que isso.

I will go on and live my dreams because I’ve realized that nothing is impossible. It all depends on me. If I decide my dreams and only me is more important than anything else, it’s the first step to success. Things will only become better after that.

Sure, it takes time for the scars from the past to heal, but with time the scars will fade—they will become almost invisible. Why almost? Because they will always serve as a reminder what I’ve been through and what not to do.

So, here’s a reminder to myself—only Eu sei o que realmente mereço e só eu posso fazer com que isso aconteça.

The rest of them can only observe—they cannot participate. I won’t let them.

 

Com os melhores cumprimentos,

Eu
