The translation is as follows:
A few months ago I decided to write my own memoir. This journey will take me to a wonderful turning point in my life. When I started writing this book, I knew it would help me free myself from something I had been suppressing for so long. These things are too heavy for me to bear. I will describe my life with facts, and it is worth celebrating.
For many years, I could only feel not afraid in one place – and that was the stage. The stage fills my soul in various ways, and that's my bad side: the music, the lights, and the screams of the audience make me feel like I can do anything, and the urges of this magical adrenaline make me addicted. I never wanted to stop feeling that way. And inner peace brings me here – a magical place of emotional understanding, thinking and inspiration (the web). At this moment, I felt that only the stage could give me freedom. Undoubtedly, I need to share this freedom.
Many people have told me, "It doesn't matter. "It's not worth it." "You will ruin the cause you have worked so hard to build over the years, and people will not accept your truth and your essence." 」 Since these suggestions came from people I loved, I decided not to tell the truth to the outside world and continue to live my life. I used this way of hurting myself to make myself feel scared and insecure. Today I will take responsibility for my decisions and actions. If someone asks me today, "Ricky, what are you afraid of?" I would reply: "What scares me is the bloody wars that pervade the streets of some countries, child trafficking, terrorism, the cynicism of those in power and the misinterpretation of faith." What am I afraid of my "truth"? No, not at all. On the contrary, it is this truth that fills me with strength and courage. As the father of two sunny and beautiful boys— who teach me every day with their own attitude toward the world — that's what I need most right now. If I live as I used to, I will indirectly diminish the innate happiness of my children. I couldn't stand it anymore, it all had to change. Changes that didn't happen 5 or 10 years ago are about to happen at this moment. Today is my day. This is my moment. The silence and reflection over the years has made me stronger than ever and reminded me to accept my heart. It is this truth that gives me the strength to overcome emotions that I have been ignoring.
What happens next? It doesn't matter. I can only care about what happens now. From today on, happiness has a new definition for me. It used to be a very intense process. Every word I write in this letter comes from love, acceptance, liberation, and true fulfillment; This letter is a solid step towards a calm heart and an important part of my life's evolution.
I would be proud to say that I am a lucky gay man. I will feel happy about who I am. - Ricky martin Ricky Martin
