DEAR HEART,

Do not let yourself fall for those dreams that my head tells you sometimes, because neither I can understand what they actually mean. I just want to protect you from those mistakes which I am already used to, but you are not. Maybe there will be a day where I will be able to explain you why I am so afraid of letting you get hurt, even when you prove me that you can be stronger than me.

Oh my dear heart, how I wished to trust them as much as you do, and all the reasons why I do not, are to try to keep you away from some ugly scars.

And, yet, my brain keeps thinking about him when I am sleeping, and I still have no idea why. So, please keep yourself out of this, I can handle it.

DEAR ME,

You have always loved to make plans, and so it was inevitable to plan and establish goals to yourself ever since you were growing. The amazing thing is that life keeps challenging and presenting you opportunities that somehow you couldn’t have ever planned. That is what you love most in this amazing thing we call living: no matter how or what you try to plan, somewhere, somehow, there’s something already meant to be, and there’s always a reason for whatever happens to you.

Good or bad, keep in mind that you don’t constantly need to have a middle ground. You are most of the time the 8 or the 80 and there is nothing wrong with that.  Even knowing that some days you put everything in question, deep down you know that you love the adrenaline of the highs and the calm of the lows. I am sure you wouldn’t bear out to live in a straight line because that only means that you’re not longer living.

I don’t know what is coming next for you. I will not make promises and shouldn’t do you either, but I will assure that you will always put your best in whatever you will do, because that’s who you are. Know also that whatever comes next it should always come from your heart, that’s always the right starting point for a good direction.

Life will continue guiding you just never forget to trust yourself.
