It didn’t hurt that you broke me into a thousand pieces. What did hurt were the time, the effort and the smiles that I gave you. I gave you so much and received so little, but life is like that and maybe it was a matter of time before I realized that you didn’t deserve the best of me. It is easy to believe in happy endings and eternal tales when everything begins, but it is not always like that: many times we don’t have the ability to see beyond a smile or a kiss.

Emotional attachment makes us weak and unable to do what is necessary to get rid of what hurts us. But we always reach that stage of asking ourselves for forgiveness for all the times we suffered from trusting someone else before ourselves.

I learned that before asking for forgiveness it is better to learn not to fail.

Never let yourself become what someone did to you; others will suffer if you do. Despite the tumbles and the tests, those who remain themselves are the ones we should admire, because we all have ways to return the pain that was done to us, but choosing not to do it is what keeps us away from darkness.

Difficult circumstances, disappointments, tears of suffering, and falls make us grow and give us the opportunity to reflect, to be better people and so enlarge our souls.

“Return pain with love”.
