“Sometimes Quiet People Have A Lot To Say, But They Don’t Open Up To Just Anyone.”

“At some point in life, someone will love you more than what you’ve expected. Be Patient and learn to wait, because sometimes a patient person receives the best love story.”

De ti aprendí, que aunque pienses que nadie te escucha, siempre habrá alguien dispuesto a escuchar lo que callas por miedo a ser una carga para los demás. Que aún hay personas en las que puedes confiar tu sentir sin miedo a ser juzgado o minimizado, qué hay personas que estarán solo por estar y te tendrán la paciencia que necesites para desahogar tus pesares, qué hay quien se queda aunque vean tu lado vulnerable y abrazan tus heridas con palabras de ternura y amor. Aprendí que aún hay personas que te ven con los ojos del alma y no solo por cómo te muestras por fuera. Sí, aún hay de esas personas.

“I am sorry someone loved you badly, and that they made you feel like you take up more space than you deserve. I am sorry they abandoned you when you need them the most and it has made you believe that love is an awful thing that hurts.”

Anaïs Nin, from a diary entry featured in Trapeze: The Unexpurgated Diary of Anais Nin, 1947-1955

This. All of this. 100%

After the aching has stopped and the tears have dried up, this is where you begin again. This is where you pick yourself up off the floor, put your heart back in your chest, and dare to put one foot in front of the other.
