Amar (a otros o a ti mismo) es de valientes... porque te enfrentas a realidades que no esperas, a dolores que pueden tardar en desaparecer. Pero nunca dejes que el miedo te gane. Mucho menos, cuando es tu propia felicidad la que está en juego. Ama y ámate sin cobardía. No te mereces menos.
En Amar(se) es de valientes entenderás que el amor debe sumar, siempre. Si resta, no es amor. Con palabras que tienen el poder de llegar hasta el fondo de tus emociones, Alejandro Ordóñez de nueva cuenta nos regala sus más íntimas reflexiones al más puro estilo de su exitoso blog Por escribir.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
You must be very brave to move forward when the heart has grown used to living wounded. To fight the battle against yourself in order to heal, to transform the wound into a scar, while never stopping believing in love.
Loving (others or yourself) is for the brave… because you face realities you did not expect, pains that may take time to fade. But never let fear win. Even less so when your own happiness is at stake. Love and love yourself without cowardice. You deserve nothing less.
In Loving (Yourself) Is for the Brave you will understand that love must always add to your life. If it subtracts, it’s not love. With words that have the power to reach the depths of your emotions, Alejandro Ordóñez once again offers us his most intimate reflections, in the pure style of his successful blog Por escribir.

For National Poetry Month in April, we are sharing poetry collections and books about poetry by authors who have their own stories to tell. These poets delve into history, reimagine the present, examine poetry itself—from traditional poems many know and love to poems and voices that are new and original.
