Tu serás sempre demasiado para alguém que não te merece

Let’s be real about one thing: As a woman, there will be many opportunities when you’ll be told that you’re ‘too much’.

Situations in which you’ll be accused of wanting too much, asking too much and expecting too much.

This is especially true when it comes to romantic relationships. After all, this is something you’ve been facing for as long as you can remember, isn’t it?

You see, as a woman, you’re always expected to make compromises.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not talking about meeting your partner halfway here, because that is something you should definitely try to do in every relationship.

I’m talking about making compromises with yourself.

I’m talking about being less demanding, less emotional or even pretending to be less smart and less successful in order for men to accept you better.

You’re expected to lower yourself in order for a guy to feel like the bigger man. Expected to do everything possible to prevent him from feeling threatened by you.

De acordo com isto, o homem não tem culpa de não conseguir seguir o seu ritmo.

Instead, you’re guilty of not stooping to his level so he doesn’t feel intimidated. Guilty for being better and for having the decency of being everything more.

Já em tenra idade, vários homens lhe disseram que os seus padrões eram demasiado elevados.

Even your closest friends accused you of believing in fairy tales and telling you that you were searching for Mr. Perfect, who didn’t exist.

Well, I’m here to beg you not to believe them. Aqui para vos pedir que nunca o façam baixar os seus padrõesNunca desista dos seus obstáculos e, acima de tudo, nunca se contente com menos.

It seems that in the modern dating world, you should consider yourself lucky to find a man who won’t cheat on you right in front of you.

Segundo algumas pessoas, devemos contentar-nos com um homem que tem a decência de nos escolher e de se decidir por nós, sem nos enganar.

No, you haven’t won the lottery just because you ran into a guy who labels your relationship and who publicly calls you his girlfriend.

You didn’t hit the jackpot for having a boyfriend who sends you a goodnight text and who treats you as his equal.

Todas estas coisas são fantásticas, mas please don’t let anyone tell you that you’re ‘too much’ for wanting more.

Na verdade, todos os tipos errados que passarão pela sua vida tentarão fazer com que pense que o pouco que eles têm para oferecer deve ser suficiente.

No entanto, quando se encontra um homem que realmente te merece, he’ll never make you settle for less.

Este tipo nunca tentará deitar-te abaixo para parecer maior. He’ll never make you feel like you’re not good enough just because it’s the only way for him to feel better about himself.

Um homem que a mereça verdadeiramente nunca lhe pedirá que baixe a sua voz para que a dele possa ser ouvida. He’ll never hold you back from your accomplishments so he looks more successful.

For him, you won’t be too emotional, too demanding or too clingy. Instead, he’ll cherish your vulnerable heart and make sure he never damages it in any way possible.

You won’t be accused of being a smarty pants or a Ms ‘know-it-all’ just because you have opinions of your own. Instead, he’ll be proud to have uma mulher inteligente e capaz como tu ao seu lado.

For him, you’ll never be too strong or too powerful. Instead, he’ll see you as a role model and as an inspiration to keep moving forward.

Mais importante ainda, he’ll never see you as too independente ou demasiado autossuficiente. Instead, he’ll be happy knowing that you chose him out of all the men in this world, despite not actually needing him.

So, I’m begging you, every time you are accused of being too much, remember that this guy is out there.

Sempre que fores acusado de fazer com que um tipo imaturo se sinta menos homem, lembra-te que existe quem te mereça.

Além disso, every time you are accused of being too much for a guy, remember this: You’re a princess who doesn’t need a smaller crown; you need a man with bigger hands.

Please, don’t dim your light just because it might blind someone and keep on shining as bright as always!
