Uma carta aberta à rapariga que deixou de se amar a si própria
É uma rapariga que continuará a dar até não ter mais nada.
You are draining yourself. You want to make everyone around you happy and loved. But, in the process, you are forgetting about the most important person—TU.
As pessoas pensam que podem passar por cima de nós porque não nos valorizamos.
Although you think that you are doing good by giving all the love you have to others, that love is not sincere. It can’t be, and it won’t be until you aprender a amarmo-nos a nós próprios.
Depois de aprenderes a amar-te e a valorizar-te, o teu amor pelas pessoas de quem gostas será puro e honesto.
I know it’s hard for you to put a stop to everything all of a sudden, but don’t let as pessoas usam-no. People are a-holes, at least most of them. They will use any opportunity they get to suck you dry. If you are a good person, and you are, they will destroy you. They will be needing more and more each day—até não ter mais nada para lhes dar.
You mustn’t let everyone else be better and more important than you. Ninguém tem o direito de controlar a sua vida. Queres envelhecer e arrepender-te de teres permitido que outros te empurrassem para os bastidores da tua vida, quando o teu lugar é na primeira fila do palco?
In your life, you are the most important—you are playing the starring role and the world revolves around you. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you will be able to say, ‘No’.
You will not let anybody down if you don’t jump to grant their every wish. If you don’t feel like going out and if you feel like staying home—stay at home. After all, if any of those people were your true friends, they would get it. But, no, these are the leeches who need your energy to feed off of. Otherwise, they would die.
Remember that you need to take care of yourself. It’s perfectly ok to just stop and rewind yourself. Reconsider some things. Find those that really matter to you because after all, you matter. Don’t forget that.
Sê tu próprio e ama-te primeiro. Tudo o resto voltará ao seu lugar.
