Who cares who I once was, if you have gotten to know me now, as I am? Why do the mistakes I made in the past matter, if I deconstructed myself in order to rebuild myself back up. And now this is what you have come to know, and I haven’t asked you to value or applaud it, just to enjoy it with me. What I was doesn’t matter, only what we can one day become together.
We surely both have the feeling of having wasted all of those kisses, hugs and time it took to find each other. They have been diluted in time and suspended in the air, covering us with wisdom and perspective. But they no longer live within us. They have left in order to maybe help other people along their emotional growth and development. Now we continue growing, moving forward, making mistakes…but differently, with other stories.

Because no one has saved the other, nor will they. But the shared love and passion we feel gives us strength so that the end of each day will be a kind of salvation, a heroic bet made together. I don’t know if I believe in romantic love. The one I have been told about is the one that has harmed me. Now I only believe in the kind that makes me feel better.

Sometimes the signs of emotional abuse can be difficult to detect. Different from physical abuse, emotional abuse is often experienced without the people in the victim’s life realizing that it is even happening. What’s worse is that the victim also…
Trust is like a bridge made of crystal, fragile and transparent, that lifts up our life. It is likely that we have put a lot of time and effort into building it, and for that reason it is priceless. However, despite the fact…
Sometimes we use silence as punishment and not speaking to someone is an escape a lot of people turn to in order to “express” their anger, disapproval, or reproach. How efficient could this method be for overcoming a problem or getting…
The most well-known and widely-used self-esteem test is, without a doubt, the Rosenberg scale. While the test is over five decades old, its simplicity (as it only has ten questions) and reliability have helped it retain its popularity over the…
