Para a rapariga que pensa que nunca mais vai amar
O seu objetivo é. I know… I know, it hurts right now. Sei que te sentes destroçado, maltratadoe incapaz de reunir a energia necessária para se levantar da cama. Sei que não há nada que eu possa dizer ou fazer que vos possa consolar. But this pain you are feeling in this moment, that seems like it’s going to consume you, it will pass. Not before it’s had its way with you, not before it’s made you feel all the feels you have to feel, but eventually, it will fade into the past and become part of what makes you who you were meant to become.
Uma vez que a dor o tenha libertado das suas garras, cuspir-lhe-á um pouco mais forte e um pouco mais desconfiado. Acreditarás que o amor é o inimigo. Que o amor é, em última análise, a causa de toda esta agonia e vais jurar que o vais abandonar. Jurarás a Deus e a quem te quiser ouvir que NUNCA mais voltarás a amar. Que nunca deixarás que alguém ou alguma coisa te coloque de novo nesse lugar. Quem te pode culpar? Foi preciso tudo o que havia em ti para sobreviver a essa dor, porque é que havias de querer voltar a fazê-lo? Como é que podes sequer imaginar permitir que o teu coração se abra novamente?
I’ve been there. In that place where love seems like your enemy and your heart a weapon to be used against you. But it’s not. Foste feito para amar e para ser amado. O teu coração deve estar cheio de alegria e felicidade. Love didn’t break you. Love didn’t desert you. He did. And now he’s gone. Let him take all of the blame, and leave love for you. Let the person who didn’t love you be the cause of your pain, and let love be the solution. Let love be the thing that heals you.
Start small if you have to, love your favorite coffee cup that delivers liquid life into your mouth and warms your soul on a cold morning. Love your bed that feels like you’re floating on a cloud when you need to escape the pressures of the day. Love the way your cat cuddles with you in the morning.
Look at all of the things you love and the joy that those things bring you. Love didn’t hurt you. Love didn’t make you cry. Love gives you a thousand reasons to be happy every day. Don’t blame love because he did you wrong. He is not love. He is just an asshat who didn’t know what he had, and that’s on him-not love.
Before you swear off love and promise you will never do it again… take notice of all the things you have in your life that you do love=your family, your friends, yourself. He didn’t take love from you. He didn’t render you incapable of mustering up that emotion. Ainda amas e voltarás a amar.
Amor,
A girl who thought she would never love again… until I realized, I never stopped.
