Não tenhas mais medo de o perder do que de te perderes a ti própria
Ama este homem - não há dúvida disso. Naturalmente, quando se gosta tanto de alguém, a última coisa que se quer é continuar a viver sem essa pessoa.
Therefore, it’s not strange that you don’t want to lose this man. In fact, you’re ready to do whatever it takes to keep him by your side.
I won’t lie to you—true love needs fighting for. It requires a lot of sacrifices and compromises.
No entanto, Matar a pessoa que se é só para agradar à outra parte nunca deve ser um desses sacrifícios.
O sucesso da vossa relação nunca deve ser posto em causa pela vossa própria felicidade pessoal.
After all, sometimes, you don’t have a say when it comes to losing the man you love.

As much as you try to keep him by your side and no matter what you do to prevent him from leaving, he will abandon you sooner or later, if that’s something he wants.
Esta é uma dessas situações.
You’re currently facing a crossroads and you can either choose to let him go or let go of the woman you are.
Estou a perceber; perdê-lo é assustador.
You’re terrified of having to go through life on your own. Scared of having to survive without this man whom you thought was your other half.
You don’t think that you will be able to make it. After all, for all of this time, you saw this guy as the only source of your happiness, as the reason for your smile and as your biggest ally.
Considera-se incompleta e incompetente sem ele. Vê-o como a fonte da sua força, como a sua razão de viver e como o seu combustível para existir.
Naturally, you think that the end of this relationship is also the end of the world. You are convinced that you’ll never fall in love with another guy again and that you’ll never recover from losing this guy.
Well, let me tell you something—Mesmo que ele se vá embora, o teu coração partido vai sarar. O tempo fará a sua magia e, quando der por si, estará melhor.
No entanto, sabe o que é algo de que nunca se recuperaria? Perder-se a si próprio.
De facto, isso é algo de que deveria ter mais medo. Ter medo de permitir que esse homem inútil mate espiritualmente a mulher que és.
Teme a possibilidade de este desgosto te partir também. Da possibilidade de desapareceres da face da terra.
No, I’m not saying that you will literally die. However, if you go on like this, you will stop living for real.

Instead, you’ll only start existing and surviving each day and I’m sure you’ll agree there is a huge difference between the two.
I’m begging you not to allow this man to kill your spark. Don’t let him kill your optimism or destroy your good vibe.
Don’t let him be the reason for the girl you were before he stormed right through your life disappearing.
Yes, losing him will hurt. Nevertheless, if you turn around a few years from now and see that he’s managed to impact your entire life, it will hurt even more.
Most importantly, don’t let this break-up change the essence of the person you’ve always been. Don’t allow it to turn you into a bitter, negative or resentful girl because you’ve never been one.
Don’t let his departure make you a rapariga sem coração with high and thick walls around her soul. Don’t allow him convince you that you’re not meant to be loved, just because he didn’t want to love you the right way.
Don’t let this man kill your faith in people. Trust me—not all men are the same, even though you can’t see it now.
So please, don’t make any compromises with yourself, in the hope of keeping any guy around. Don’t shut yourself off just to make him stay by your side.
Don’t lose your individuality and don’t let him change you if that’s the only way for him not to leave you.
Don’t let him shape you in order to fit his standards and don’t do anything to please him if it doesn’t make you happy.
Trust me—you’ll survive the end of any romantic relationship, including this one.
No entanto, if you allow the relationship you have with yourself to break, that is something you’ll never fully recover from.
