In our daily lives, we encounter thousands of feelings, people, slights and situations that make us uncomfortable. Identifying them and knowing which ones we can do something about and which ones we can't is crucial to answering nagging questions such as: Why am I being so sensitive? Why am I always on the defensive? Why do I feel anxious? What exactly is going on with me? That's why, dear friend, we need to talk. Let's take a moment to get to know each other, correct our misperceptions, accept and forgive and, most of all, say good riddance to the things we need to get rid of. Let's see if we can start loving each other the way we deserve to be loved. It's about time.

Summary
Antes, cuando escuchaba hablar sobre la importancia de «conocerse a una misma», no lo entendía. Cuando llevas treinta años viviendo contigo, ¿se puede saber qué es lo que te falta por conocer? ¿De verdad hay algo que puede pillarte por sorpresa?
En nuestro día a día, tenemos miles de sentimientos, personas, heridas, situaciones… que nos generan malestar. Identificarlas y saber distinguir las que podemos cambiar de las que no
es muy importante para dejar de hacernos las preguntas de siempre: ¿Por qué me noto tan
sensible? ¿Por qué siempre estoy a la defensiva? ¿Por qué siento ansiedad? ¿Qué es lo que me pasa?
Por eso, querida amiga, tenemos que hablar. Vamos a parar un momento para conocernos,
corregirnos, aceptarnos, perdonarnos… Y, sobre todo, para mandar a la mierda lo que sea necesario. A ver si así podemos empezar a querernos tanto como nos merecemos,
que ya toca.
ENGLSH DESCRIPTION
It used to be that when I heard people talk about the importance of “knowing oneself,” I didn’t understand what they meant. When you’ve been living with yourself for thirty years, what exactly is left to know? Is there really anything you’d be surprised to discover?

Identifying them and knowing which ones we can do something about and which ones we can’t is crucial to answering nagging questions such as: Why am I being so sensitive?
