DEPOIS DE MUITAS RELAÇÕES RUINS, ME APAIXONEI POR UMA COLEGA DE TRABALHO | Histórias de ter.a.pia

For a long time, Sayuri believed that love meant enduring. It took going through guilt, complicated relationships, motherhood, and burnout to discover that true love doesn't shout, doesn't control, and doesn't make someone forget about you. As a child, she grew up trying to expel from herself the feelings she believed to be sinful. Between Sunday prayers and her first crushes on girls, she carried a guilt that no one should know so early. When she discovered that she also liked men, she believed she had found the path to a "normal" life. But the ten years with her fiancé ended a month before the wedding, leaving behind not only a broken heart, but a woman who had already lost her own autonomy. It was spirituality that made her look inward and ask why she accepted so little from the one who said he loved her. Even so, he repeated old patterns in another relationship. Then came her two daughters, prejudice at work, postpartum, changes in her body, and a routine marked by fights, shouting, and loneliness. Until she understood that she couldn't convince anyone to treat her with respect. She could only choose to leave. The turning point came when he met Roberta. The attraction was immediate, but what transformed Sayuri wasn't passion. It was finding someone who respected her boundaries, embraced her fears, and never made her beg for consideration. For the first time, she realized she was desirable, but above all, worthy of care. Today, she knows that the greatest love of her life wasn't learning to love another person. It was learning to choose herself. Because relationships can end, but those who learn to prioritize themselves never again accept living where affection has to compete with humiliation. And, for those who face this path, she leaves two certainties: no one goes through life alone. A support network and therapy are also forms of love.
