Uma carta para a rapariga com o coração partido

Dear ‘You’,

I know you’re hurting. I was there once before. I know you think the pain won’t ever go away, but it will. I know it will because I don’t feel it anymore and you won’t either. Just hang in there a little longer.

Every time you think you can’t take it anymore, give yourself a small push and you will endure.

Sempre que te apetecer chorar, faz um favor a ti próprio e chora. Deixe-se ficar na poça das suas lágrimas no chão da casa de banho. Tens de passar por isso. Tens de chorar as tuas emoções.

Sempre que sentires que o teu coração está prestes a explodir e que algo te está a pressionar e a perfurar dentro do teu peito, respira fundo. Estás a fazer com que isso aconteça.

Está a pensar demais and obsessing about searching for answers to ‘why me?’ and ‘why couldn’t it work?’

Eu sei que tiveste o teu coração partido, porque eu consigo vê-lo, por mais que tentes escondê-lo.

You have that special smile that gives away your pain hiding behind it. You have that sparkle in your eyes that is a reflection of all the tears you’ve spilled suffering.

Sente-se como se uma parte de si tivesse sido arrancada, como se já não estivesse completa.

You hate this feeling and you will do anything to distract yourself from thinking about the person who broke you to pieces. You’ll meet new people and you’ll visit places you always wanted to go.

You look like you are defeated but that’s far from the truth. You will never accept defeat and you will never surrender. You just need some time to let things cool down.

You know you have to rise from the dead to continue living your beautiful life. It’s just that at the moment you’ve forgotten how blessed you are and what you have. You forgot because you’re hurt.

Tens de te lembrar de quem és e do que mereces. Precisa de mudar a sua mentalidade para o modo de sobrevivência. Precisa de libertar-se da dor.

Precisas de ir lá fora e trazer de volta a tua confiança. Precisas de voltar a andar nas ruas com orgulho. Tens de atrair a atenção de todos os homens que encontras e fazer com que todas as mulheres te invejem.

Put your foot down and decide that you have to bring back your self-esteem and respect. Broken hearts don’t last forever.

You may forgive him for all the pain he caused you, but you will never forget how much it hurt. You will never forget all those sleepless nights and even days when you couldn’t get up from the bed.

You won’t forget the tears you’ve cried calling out his name. You won’t forget how many times you’ve tried to knock him out of your head, but you couldn’t.

You promised yourself that you will never let this happen again. You’re never going to let your heart get broken. You decided you won’t be naive and that you won’t fall in love this hard, ever again.

You promised yourself all of that, but you know it won’t come true. You know it’s impossible and you know it’s not up to you to decide.

Your heart has a mind of its own. You know it and yet you’re ready to survive anything – maybe even another heartbreak. You know you can. You’re strong.

Com os melhores cumprimentos,

A rapariga com um coração outrora partido
