Apaixone-se por curar-se a si próprio

In the corner of the room, with your head between your knees, there you are again. You’re hurting, aren’t you?

You can’t get one word out of your mouth without bursting into tears and crying until you’re so exhausted that you just fall asleep.

He broke you. You are holding out your hands but all your broken pieces are falling aside because you just can’t seem to hold them all together anymore.

É preciso curar. Mas parece ser um processo tão longo de estar sempre a falhar e a tentar de novo.

Mas quando se apaixonar pela sua própria cura, tudo será mais fácil.

Fall in love with healing yourself! Those wounds and scars that are only visible to you shouldn’t be the reasons for your desperation.

They should motivate you to get on moving and start your days with words like, “Today, I have healed a little more.”

Apaixone-se por curar-se a si próprio! Once you do, you will start to love yourself even more. You will start to see your healing process and how you’re a survivor who can conquer anything that’s in her path.

Lembrar-se-á de onde estava e voltará a pôr-se de pé para tentar, uma vez mais, juntar os seus pedaços quebrados.

Não há tempo para fazer uma pausa. I know that sometimes you do feel exhausted, you do feel like you’re going nowhere because whenever the thought of him catches you unaware, you burst into uncontrollable sobs but once more, look back at where you were and how there were no moments of peace in your life.

Now there are. Even though you might seem confused by all the emotions that are going through you, it’s all part of the process. Even when you feel like doing nothing for days, it’s still you healing yourself.

Apaixone-se por si e deixe de se apaixonar por ele. You have loved him for so long, haven’t you? Forgetting about him and moving on is a tough road that doesn’t allow you to go back.

Just with the thought of going back and reaching for his hug, your heart screams in agony because it doesn’t want to go through that ever again.

That’s why falling in love with yourself is the most important task you can ever have.

Apaixona-te pela pessoa em que te vais tornar. Imagina a pessoa em que te tornarás depois de tudo isto ter terminado.

Quando o sofrimento acabar e perceber que existe uma luz brilhante ao fundo de cada túnel, tornar-se-á tudo o que sempre quis ser. Por isso, porque não começar a sua viagem imediatamente, sem qualquer hesitação?

Um dia compreenderás. I know that this sounds like something your parents would say but once you start loving everything about your healing process, everything about yourself and everything about what you’ve gone through, realizing that it all had a purpose—you will understand!

You will see why it all had to happen exactly how it did and that there is nothing for you to regret because your past is what turned you into the woman you are today and it’s turning you into the woman you will become in the future.

Aqui estás tu. A chorar. A pensar se a dor alguma vez vai parar. Mas deixem-me ser o primeiro a dizer-vos que vai.

The pain will pass and you will be freed from everything that holds you bound to him. You will be freed from the sorrow, the memories and the grudges that you’re holding against him.

Quando se concentra na sua própria cura, nada mais importa. He won’t matter anymore, and nor will your past. When you focus on your healing, you will make your own happiness and your self-love and recovery priorities above everything else.

Ele foi-se embora mas you’re still here fighting every day e vais perceber, a cada segundo que passa, que vais voltar a amar e que vais voltar a juntar as peças.

He’s gone, together with all the abuse and all the harsh words and he left behind a flower—you, ready to bloom.
