Good afternoon:
My name is Itzel Jaimes (SUAyED) and I would like to share with everyone who enters this blog a story that seems very true, beautiful and appropriate to the occasion.
YOU DESERVE?
Once upon a time there was a very handsome king who was looking for a wife.
The most beautiful women of the kingdom and other distant countries passed through his palace; Many offered, in addition to beauty and charm, all of his riches, but none satisfied him enough to become his wife and queen.
One day a beggar woman arrived at the king’s palace and fought to get an audience with him. -“I have nothing material to offer you, I can only give you the great love I feel for you,” he told the king, “if you allow me, I can do something to show you that love.” This aroused the king’s curiosity, who asked him to say what he could do.
-“I will spend 100 days on your balcony, without eating or drinking anything, exposed to the rain, the night sky, the sun and the cold of the night. If I can endure those 100 days, then you will make me your wife.”
The king, more surprise than moved, accepted the challenge. Saying this, the woman began the sacrifice of her.
Days passed and the woman bravely endured the inclement weather. She often felt that she was fainting from hunger or cold but he encouraged her to finally imagine herself next to her love.
From time to time the king would look out from his comfortable room and encourage her by making some gesture that projected strength and courage.
Thus the days passed, 10…20…50…, the king continued to look out to see the woman’s progress. -“This woman is incredible”-he thought to himself and made a gesture of encouragement to her again.
Finally, day 99 arrived and when everyone thought that they would finally have a queen, right at 11:00 pm, the woman, faint, deteriorating, losing weight, tired and with a mountain of illnesses, RETIRED. Without saying a single word, she turned her gaze to the king who saw her stunned by not knowing why, just an hour after becoming his wife, she had given up. The woman just walked away.
Upon arriving home, her father, who had already found out what had happened, asked her why she had decided to give up when she was only an hour away from being queen and, to his astonishment, she responded: – “I was there for 99 days.” and 23 hours on his balcony, enduring all kinds of calamities and he was not able to free me from that sacrifice. He saw me suffering and only encouraged me to continue, without showing even a little mercy for my suffering. I waited all that time for a glimpse of kindness and consideration that never came. “Then I understood that SUCH A SELFISH, INCONSIDERATE AND BLIND PERSON, WHO ALWAYS THINKS ABOUT HIMSELF, DOES NOT DESERVE MY LOVE.”
How many times have we not expected a gesture of sensitivity from our partner? Who is moved when he sees us cry? And, at least I wonder, doesn’t he feel that he hurt me and doesn’t he plan to do anything to change it? But many of those times we are left waiting for him to turn to see us at some point and simply say: Sorry. Although many times it is not only forgiving the partner but also forgiving ourselves for having failed us, for having let someone make us doubt that we are strong, for having allowed ourselves to reach a point where our self-esteem is at rock bottom, Why, it may sound very trite but it’s true, how can I expect someone to love me if I myself don’t show that I love by humiliating myself so much to be with someone.
It is difficult and even more so when we see it from the outside, when we are not wrapped in the spider web that represents a destructive relationship but we must be strong, believe that we do not need someone by our side to be happy, not look for happiness outside when it can be within us. , not needing to be with someone but not wanting to be with that someone. Don’t expect this time to be the last time we get physically hurt.
