Piensa con Conciencia

This morning, I woke up and decided to write about heartbreak. At first, I thought it would be easy—just another text like so many others. But it wasn’t. Everyone experiences heartbreak differently, with unique emotions and perspectives. It’s hard to describe when the memories that surface are a mix of pain and joy. I thought I had moved on, but there’s always a small part of that person lingering in a hidden corner. A love story is never truly forgotten; it’s preserved in memory. Every story has an end, but every end is also a new beginning. At first, it’s all pain and tears. We find ourselves questioning what we did wrong, feeling the hurt we caused and the pain inflicted upon us. Even if the other person seems fine, you can never truly know what they’re going through.

We cannot always discern whether their judgment is optimistic or pessimistic, or even their true intent behind the words. What’s more, there’s often a significant gap between who we are, who we want to show the world, and what others ...

We often hear phrases like: "Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile," or "You're too good for this world." These expressions reflect a common reality: the tendency to allow certain behaviors from others to avoid conflicts, arguments, or the constant drain of living in "battle mode." However, some people interpret this goodwill as permission to cross boundaries that should remain intact. This can lead to situations where we find ourselves harming others unintentionally, and we feel the need to step away out of respect for them and ourselves. It's also common to see how some individuals only take responsibility when backed into a corner, when there’s no room left to avoid the consequences of their actions.

Often, this behavior is tied to a lack of commitment or emotional responsibility, which only surfaces under pressure. On the o...
