Em 2025, quero um amor que fique

There are too many things in life that don’t last and love shouldn’t be one of them.

I’ve already had people coming in and out of my life who were supposed to be my friends, I’ve had men telling me that they loved me in one moment and then turning their backs to me the next, and I had people who promised to be there just to go and disappear when I needed them the most.

This year was full of things that didn’t last. I’ve been put through hell by the people who should’ve cared for me the most.

My heart has been broken, my back is full of knives and my eyes have no more tears to cry despite the pain I’m feeling.

But, I’m not giving up. No, not me.

Escolho manter-me otimista. Escolho ser positivo. Escolho esperar pela luz ao fundo do túnel.

I’m putting all my hopes in the year that is yet to come. I’ve had my fair share of hell and now it’s time to finally experience the happiness that stays and a love that doesn’t leave me. That’s me, an eternal optimist.

Out of all the wishes someone could have for the year to come, I only have one—all I want is a love that stays.

I don’t want anything temporary anymore. I want a love that doesn’t leave. I want that para sempre história.

I want a love that makes me feel like I’m good enough. Like I’m more than my mistakes and like my imperfections are not ever allowed to shadow my good side.

I want a love in which I won’t be mistreated for making a mistake, where my efforts will be appreciated and where I’ll feel like I am just fine in my own skin.

Quero um amor que me faça sentir em casa, um amor que me faça sentir segura. I want a love that will be my safe haven, a love for which I’ll thank God each day and night, a love that will make me feel comfortable enough to be who I am, where I won’t need to put on any masks, where I won’t need to pretend to be something I’m not.

Quero um amor em que eu sinta que sou importante. I just need love in which I’ll feel like my feelings matter, like what I have to say is important, like something would change if I disappeared all of a sudden. I want a love in which I know I’ll be missed if I’m gone.

Quero um amor que fique, o amor com que posso contar. I want a love that will make me feel high, a love that will take me to the stars and a love that I’ll be selfish about and that will make me not want to share with anyone.

I want a love that cares, a love that’s honest, a love that’s there just because of me, a love that doesn’t treat me like a backup plan.

Quero um amor que fique para sempre e não até encontrar outro, alguém melhor.

Quero um amor que prometa ficar. Um amor que cumpre as suas promessas, um amor que fica mesmo quando os tempos se tornam difíceis, que segura a minha mão durante todas as tempestades e um amor que é a minha luz ao fundo do túnel.

A love that helps me when I lose my faith, a love that doesn’t allow me to get tired, a love that makes sense out of everything bad. That’s what kind of love I want in 2025.

Prometo deixar todos os meus desgostos em 2024. Prometo esquecer todos aqueles que me quebraram, me traíram ou me mentiram e prometo começar do zero quando este novo amor entrar na minha vida.

With this new year, I’m ready for a new beginning, a better beginning.

The year to come is about hope. And even though this year has left me bruised, even though I’ve fallen a hundred times, I managed to stand up and I’m still standing, ready to start from scratch.
