Quando perceberes que perdeste a mulher da tua vida, já te terei esquecido

É engraçado como os homens têm frequentemente um período de comportamento imprudente logo após uma separação. Quase parece que estão a celebrá-la.

On the other hand, women are almost always curled up in their bed and sobbing every night… Well, until they are not.

It seems strangely coincidental that most of the time, that’s probably the time when the man starts to sob and guess what happens to her? She doesn’t care anymore.

Life sure has a distinct sense of humor and in this case, we’re all for it.

This happened to me. I was the late-night sobbing girl. I guess I cried the pain away because one day I just woke up and said, “That’s enough.”

I didn’t want to do this to myself anymore. I wanted to live my life. I wanted my life to have meaning again.

So what if a man thought I wasn’t good enough for him. That was the same man who couldn’t provide me with the simplest things—for example, attention and care.

So what if he’d moved on with his life?

Ainda bem para ele, porque a última coisa de que eu precisava era voltar a ouvir falar dele e ficar presa ao mesmo comportamento imaturo que foi uma das razões pelas quais nos separámos.

No entanto, para a maioria das mulheres, o mais provável é que, quando a realidade o atingir, ele a queira de volta.

That’s because you were everything he needed; he just couldn’t see it.

It’s easy to take all the love and care for granted. The problem is when that turns into abuse and abuse is something that’s unacceptable.

Love should be cherished and praised and it should go both ways. But in your case, he couldn’t see it.

He lost the woman of his life—and that’s his fault, not yours.

All the things you gave him will haunt him because love doesn’t go away.

Todas as coisas bonitas que ele vir e tocar vão lembrá-lo de si e do amor que ele perdeu por causa da sua insensatez.

Once he gets it, it’s going to be late. By that time, you will know better.

Nessa altura, darás todo o amor a ti próprio em primeiro lugar.

Loving yourself is absolutely mandatory. By putting yourself first, you’ll not only get over him but learn to recognize true love from others.

You won’t be played again because once you give yourself the love you give to others, that’s when you will realize how little love they were giving you.

You’re over him because he doesn’t match your potential mais.

Ele fez parte do processo de aprendizagem pelo qual tiveste de passar para chegares onde estás agora e, por isso, podes estar grato.

Now you know how to approach life from the right side. You know how to react with power and authenticity, you don’t have to wait for someone else.

Tu és suficiente por ti própria e sabes disso. Só isso faz de si uma mulher poderosa.

There’s no force in the universe that can stop a woman who knows herself, who appreciates her own unique beauty, respects her mind and chooses to choose love over anything.
