LoveFriday, a challenge by @liliana.duarte! Let's go for another year ;)!

Hoje, no #LoveFriday, trago-vos mais um texto meu sobre desespero e esperança. Espero que gostem :)!

Today, on #LoveFriday, I'm bringing you another writing of mine about despair and hope. Hope you like it!

O QUE NÃO NOS MATA TORNA-NOS MAIS FORTES

Há acontecimentos na vida que nos deixam despedaçados. Ao ponto de imaginarmos que nunca mais vamos conseguir emergir, vir à tona, voltar a viver. Um sofrimento que nos derruba, e que a muitos até provoca depressão. Trata-se, invariavelmente, de uma perda. De uma perda de alguém, quase sempre. Ou de algo que abala as nossas estruturas, os nossos alicerces, que nos tira o chão.

WHAT DOESN’T KILL US MAKES US STRONGER

There are things that happen to us in life that shatter and kills us inside. On these moments we think we will never be able to emerge, to get back to life, to live again. A pain that knocks us down, and even puts us under depression. This is caused by a loss, invariably. A loss of someone, almost always. Or some situation that shakes our structures, our foundations, which breaks us apart.

Mas o tempo, esse milagre, é um lenitivo que tudo abranda, tudo acalma. Engraçado como o tempo, que voa, também abranda. Abranda a dor, o desgosto, a perda. Adoça as memórias, ainda que não mate a saudade. Mas transforma-a em algo que guardamos dentro de nós como uma jóia. Como se fossemos um porta-jóias, um cofre com conteúdo valioso, bem fechado a sete chaves.

But time, this true miracle, is a lenitive that makes everything slow down and calm down, makes us get back on track. It's funny how time, which flies, also slows down. Slows down the pain, the grief, and the loss. Sweetens our memories, even if it doesn't kill the longing. But it turns out memories into something that we keep inside us like a jewel. As if we were a jewelry box, a safe with a priceless content, perfectly locked and sealed.

Sentimo-nos mais fortes, porque acumulamos esse tesouro que ninguém pode roubar. Ganhamos camadas de aceitação, ganhamos espessura.

We feel stronger because we keep this treasure that no one can steal from us. We gain layers of acceptance, we gain thickness.

E ficamos mais preparados para o que der e vier, para outros embates que, quase sempre, acabam por surgir, de uma forma ou de outra.
E ganhamos, ou devemos ganhar, o sentimento de encarar a perda como algo que faz parte da vida.
Tornamo-nos mais fortes, e mais suaves, ao mesmo tempo.
Aceitamos.
E vivemos.

And we get eventually more prepared for what comes next and goes away, we get stronger when we face new hardships that, almost always, end up happening, one way or another.
And we build up the feeling of facing loss as something that is part of life.
We get stronger, and softer at the same time.
We accept.
And we keep living.
