Eu sei que apaixonar-se é assustador, mas o homem certo fará com que valha a pena

Nunca foi um cobarde. Pelo contrário, sempre caminhou pela vida com firmeza e sem medo. Sempre foste corajoso e forte.

Exceto por uma coisa.

With time, you’ve become terrified of love and anything that has to do with it. Even a ideia de se apaixonar tornou-se assustadora para si.

You justify yourself by saying that you can’t force yourself to have faith in love when you’ve been betrayed and hurt so many times because of it. You can’t believe that love can be pure and that it can have a positive outcome on you.

You’ve even become sarcastic and pessimistic when love is in question. But if you are honest toward yourself, you’ll see that you are only trying to mask your fear with this sarcasm and irony.

But the way you see love is nothing unnatural, taking into consideration everything you’ve been through in the past.

Quando olhamos para a nossa vida amorosa e para a nossa história de amor deste ponto de vista, não vemos nada de positivo. Sim, é claro que tem algumas recordações amorosas, mas as feias prevalecem.

Sadly, the pain and the sadness prevail in the rare moments of happiness you’ve experienced.

Era como se todos os homens que entravam na sua vida tivessem um objetivo oculto. Era como se todos eles apenas quisessem usar-te, magoar-te e deixar-te a lutar sozinha, enquanto eles continuavam as suas vidas.

The truth is that you’ve had different types of men in your life but somehow they all turned out to be wrong for you. Somehow, they’ve all managed to hurt you in different ways.

E, claro, tudo o que aconteceu deixou consequências na tua personalidade. Mudou a tua visão da vida e do amor e mudou-te como pessoa.

All of these men didn’t just hurt you—they’ve made you believe that every person in this world will treat you the same. They’ve made you think that you are obviously not worthy of someone loving you the right way and they’ve convinced you that you shouldn’t trust anyone.

So naturally, you’ve become scared and you’ve prometeu a si mesmo não voltar a amar. You’ve become afraid of letting anyone in your life, of giving yourself to someone new and of giving men a chance.

You’ve become petrified of trusting people and most of all, you’ve become scared of falling in love, thinking it would only bring you suffering.

I know you are scared and there is nothing wrong with that. I know you’ve lost all faith in ever finding the man who would derrubar os vossos muros because you think he would destroy you. I know you’ve lost all faith in ever loving someone and of ever being loved.

But what you don’t know is that the right guy will make all of these fears go away, as if they never existed.

Ele dar-te-á todo o seu amor e apoio e far-te-á compreender que podes sempre contar com ele, aconteça o que acontecer. Ele fará o seu dever de a convencer de que é alguém em quem pode confiar.

Ele fará tudo o que estiver ao seu alcance para lhe mostrar que nunca sairá do seu lado e que ficará consigo para o que der e vier.

Este homem nunca te fará duvidar da sua lealdade ou do amor que sente por ti. Ele nunca te fará questionar o teu valor e nunca te fará implorar pelo seu amor e atenção.

And most importantly—he will always fulfill his promises. He will never back out on you nor will he leave you hanging.

Em vez disso, ele apoiará sempre as suas palavras, mostrando-lhe que pode confiar nele.

Ele nunca fará nada para a magoar deliberadamente, porque terá sempre em consideração as suas emoções.

E, finalmente, este homem nunca a abandonará e esforçar-se-á por lhe provar que é diferente de todos os outros.

I know you think a guy like this doesn’t exist. And even if he does, that he won’t happen to you.

But trust me—all of this is just in your head. Because this guy will come along when you least expect it.

When he comes, he’ll show you why it never worked out with all of these men from your past. And he’ll make you understand that everything you went through was worth it.

Porque todas as pequenas coisas na tua vida, todos os tipos errados e todos os passos errados que deste, levaram-te até ele.
