A Letter to My Past Self

Dear L.,

I'm writing to you from a place you can't imagine right now. You're still in the middle of that story with him, trying to understand why it hurts you, why he confuses you, and why you're still waiting for something that doesn't arrive. I know you believe that you're doing the right thing, and I say this with love: at this moment, you're doing the best that you can. You're acting honestly, loyally, and with a clear hearth, and that says so much about you.

But you need to know something: that chapter won't end the way you dream about. And of course, it'll hurt you. It'll break you a little, but it'll also give you a push to grow in ways you can't see today. You're going to discover your value in a new way, and you're going to learn that those who really want to stay with you are present... without excuses, silence, or disappearing when you need them the most.

I would like to give you an advice: don't sacrifice your peace for somebody who only gives you crumbs of his time or clarity. Ask what you need to ask, but don't pursue answers from those whom don't want to give you them. You're not a second place in anyone's life, although sometimes he makes you feel like that.

Also I want to say you something special: don't punish yourself to love. Don't be embarrassed for having been transparent. The version that you're now - who are trying, trusting, and insisted one more time - it deserves love, not a judgment. All that hurts you now, someday you're going to see it with calm, even with love, because it was part of your path that carries you to where they truly value you, see you, and choose you.

If I could warn you about something, it would be this: when you feel you're carrying everything alone, don't ignore it. That is a warning that always arrives before a story ends. Listen it.

Even like this, I would not change your story. Thanks it, someday you'll become someone stronger, clearer, and more conscious of what you deserve and what you don't.

With love,
Your future version.


Carta a mi Yo del Pasado

Querida L.,

Te escribo desde un lugar que ahora mismo no puedes imaginar. Tú todavía estás en medio de esa historia con él, intentando entender por qué duele, por qué te confunde y por qué sigues esperando algo que no termina de llegar. Sé que crees que estás haciendo lo correcto, y te lo digo con cariño: en ese momento, lo estás haciendo lo mejor que puedes. Actúas con honestidad, con lealtad y con un corazón limpio, y eso habla muy bien de ti.

Pero necesitas saber algo: ese capítulo no va a terminar como tú lo sueñas. Y sí, te va a doler. Te romperá un poco, pero también te empujará a crecer de formas que hoy no puedes ver. Vas a descubrir tu valor de una manera nueva, y vas a aprender que quien realmente quiere estar, está… sin excusas, sin silencios, sin desaparecer cuando más lo necesitas.

Quisiera darte un consejo: no sacrifiques tu paz por alguien que apenas te da migajas de su tiempo o de su claridad. Pregunta lo que necesites preguntar, pero no persigas respuestas que alguien no quiere dartelas. Tú no eres un segundo plano en la vida de nadie, aunque a veces él te lo haga sentir.

También quiero decirte algo especial: no te culpes por amar. No te avergüences de haber sido tan transparente. La versión que eres ahora —la que intenta, la que confía, la que insiste una vez más— merece ternura, no juicio. Todo eso que hoy te duele, un día lo vas a mirar con calma, incluso con un poco de cariño, porque fue parte del camino que te llevó a donde sí te valoran, sí te ven y sí te eligen.

Si pudiera advertirte algo sería esto: cuando sientas que tú estás sosteniendo todo sola, no lo ignores. Ese es el aviso que siempre llega antes de que una historia termine. Escúchalo.

Y aun así, no cambiaría tu historia. Porque gracias a ella, un día te convertirás en alguien más fuerte, más clara y mucho más consciente de lo que merece y de lo que no.

Con amor,
Tu Yo del futuro.

A Letter to My Past Self

Dear L.,

I'm writing to you from a place you can't imagine right now.

You're still in the middle of that story with him, trying to understand why it hurts you, why he confuses you, and why you're still waiting for something that doesn't arrive.

I know you believe that you're doing the right thing, and I say this with love: at this moment, you're doing the best that you can.

You're acting honestly, loyally, and with a clear hearth, and that says so much about you.

But you need to know something: that chapter won't end the way you dream aboutit will.

And of course, it'll hurt you.

It'll break you a little, but it'll also give you a push you to grow in ways you can't see today.

You're going to discover your value in a new way, and you're going to learn that those who really want to stay with you are present... without excuses, silence, or disappearing when you need them the most.

I would like to give you an advice: don't sacrifice your peace for somebody who only gives you crumbs of his time or of his clarity.

to make it clearer

Ask what you need to ask, but don't pursue answers from those whom don't want to give you them to you.

You're not a second place in anyone's life, although sometimes he makes you feel like that way.

this one is better

Also I want to saytell you something special: don't punishblame yourself tofor loveing.

despues de leer la carta en español esto tal vez es mejor

Don't be embarrassed for having been transparent.

The version that you' are now - who are trying, trusting, andthe one who tries, who trusts, who insisteds on one more time - it deserves love, not a judgment.

All that hurts you now, someday you're going toyou will someday see it with calm, even with love, because it was part of yourthe path that carries you to where they truly value you, see you, and choose you.

If I could warn you about something, it would be this: when you feel you're carrying everything alone, don't ignore it.

both correct, but this one better

Listen to it.

Thanks to it, someday you'll become someone stronger, clearer, and more conscious of what you deserve and what you don't.

Dear L.,

I'm writing to you from a place you can't imagine right now.

You're still in the middle of that story with him, trying to understand why it hurts you, why he confuses you, and why you're still waiting for something that doesn't arrive.

I know you believe that you're doing the right thing, and I say this with love: at this moment, you're doing the best that you can.

You're acting honestly, loyally, and with a clear hearth, and that says so much about you.

But you need to know something: that chapter won't end the way you dream aboutit will.

Nothing wrong with "about", but "it will" matches more naturally with "won't". You could also say "the way you're dreaming it will" to give the sense that that dreaming is actively happening.

And of course, it'll hurt you.

It'll break you a little, but it'll also give you a push to grow in ways you can't see today.

You're going to discover your value in a new way, and you're going to learn that those who really want to stay with you are present... without excuses, silence, or disappearing when you need them the most.

I would like to give you ansome advice: don't sacrifice your peace for somebody who only gives you crumbs of his time or clarity.

"Advice" is uncountable.

You're not a second place in anyone's life, although sometimes he makes you feel like that.

Also I want to say you something special to you: don't punish yourself tofor loveing.

Don't be embarrassed for having been transparent.

The version that you' are now - who areis trying, trusting, and insisted one more time - it deserves love, not a judgment.

Contractions like "you're" are less natural when they're emphasized, as they are here.

AllEverything that hurts you now, someday you're going to see it withyou will one day see calm, even with love, because it was part of your path that carries you to where they truly value you, see you, and choose you.

"All" is okay, but sounds literary to the point of being too formal. The corrections after the comma are more technically correct, whereas the way you have it written now feels like a stream of thought, with the sentence breaking after the comma but still perfectly fine.

If I could warn you about something, it would be this: when you feel you're carrying everything alone, don't ignore it.

That is a warning that always arrives before a story ends.

Listen to it.

Even like thisnow, I would not change your story.

Thanks to it, someday you'll become someone stronger, clearer, and more conscious of what you deserve and what you don't.

With love,

Your future version.
