O amor que mereces e que dás a todos os outros

I wish there was a way for me to hug you over the screen. I wish there was a way for me to show you how incredible you are, to show you that you are everything but ordinary. To show you that you deserve so much more than you’re settling for.

Instead, I’m writing over and over again, hoping that maybe someday, my words will help someone walk away from things that hurt them.

Hoping that someday, my words will give someone courage to make a decision they should’ve made long time ago. A decision to colocam-se em primeiro lugar.

Por isso, deixem-me repetir: TU MERECES TUDO.

Mereces ser feliz. All those quotes about how love is not real if it doesn’t hurt, screw them! Love is not supposed to hurt you.

É suposto o amor manter-nos seguros when everything else falls apart. Yes, it gets hard, it gets messy, but if you don’t feel safe, it’s not real. If you don’t feel like you can talk about it, it’s not real.

And happiness is not just about being in love. You deserve to be happy at home, at work, in your own mind. I know, life’s a bitch, but you’ll never know how happy you can be if you don’t try it.

They say that when things seem terrifying, you just need to jump. So, I’m asking you to jump. Jump into the unknown and remember that you are strong enough to deal with whatever is in there. Just jump.

Mereces ser respeitado. O respeito não é um privilégio e custa-me ver que é tratado como tal. Não somos definidos pelo nosso género, pelo nosso trabalho ou pela nossa etnia.

And respect shouldn’t be based on those things. Respect shouldn’t be given to only some people. Demand respect if you’re not given any.

There will always be assholes who will try to deny you the respect your deserve. There will always be assholes who will try to belittle the things you’ve done. But show them you’re stronger, better. Show them you’re worth it and walk away. Que se afoguem na vossa poeira, enquanto you’re thriving.

You deserve to be appreciated and accepted—as you are and for who you are. If someone wants you to change, screw them. If someone says that you’ve changed, it usually means you’re not the person they need anymore.

It has nothing to you being worse or better. It’s just the idea of you they had that changed. But the thing is, if we don’t change, we don’t grow. And if we don’t grow, we keep on being stuck at the same fucking place for years until we fade away.

Don’t let anyone dim your light, because you have the ability to outshine the Sun. Don’t let anyone make you question your worth, because no one walked through your Hell but you. No one walked in your shoes but you.

Ninguém amou, esperou ou sonhou como tu e nunca ninguém o fará. Sê quem és e nunca mudes pelos outros. Mude por si, para si.

Mereces o amor que continuas a dar a todos os outros. It’s sad that you keep on lowering your walls to help people, how you keep on giving pieces of yourself to make someone better, but getting the same thing from those people is impossible.

It’s heartbreaking to see you hurt because you think you’re unlovable. But let me tell you one thing. You’re not unlovable because someone doesn’t know how to love. You’re not any less pretty, worthy or good just because someone was too blind to see it.

Don’t close your eyes to your faults because they’re your own. Learn to accept them and learn from them. And accept the truth that you deserve that movie kind of love. You deserve a happy ending and you deserve to be treated like a queen. And so what if there’s no super-hero to save you? You’re perfectly capable of doing it by yourself because you’ve already saved so many people. So, why not save yourself this time?

Do mais profundo do meu pequeno e confuso coração, quero que sejas feliz. Quero que sejas amado e beijado like you’ve never been kissed before.

Quero que te rias até sentires os teus abdominais a formarem-se e a única dor que sentes é a do riso. Quero que saltes tão alto que te percas entre as estrelas.

Quero que aprendas a voar porque já tens as asas. Tudo o que tens de fazer agora é largar toda essa merda que te pesa e saltar!

Com todo o meu amor,

Alguém que está apenas a dois cliques de distância.
