AHaze Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 “Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.” - Winston Churchill said that, and it makes me wonder... There's exceptions to this?. right? Like when you've lived through the hardest time of your life... moved on and life has improved x1000, you're happy and the future looks as bright as ever... Regardless, you still think about her every day. not about being back with her, or still fully heart broken about losing her or anything like that... just casual thoughts... she exists... she's your ex... you loved her... whatever it may be. Because it's been over 500 days since I had a day without thinking about her, that's just a part of life for me, something I'm used to, accepted and not phased by... But that quote just makes you wonder.. just for a brief moment, before you snap back to reality and remember your new chapter in life and how bright things are looking... that brief moment is pretty deep and "thought-provoking"... I don't like that quote
PR08 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Winston Churchill said a lot of stuff, and he was full of it at least half of the time. There was a reason the electorate kicked him out after WW2... On a serious note, just keep on the path you're on. It sounds like you're doing great!
Author AHaze Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 Pretty misleading if you ask me. in what way? My post or the quote?
joe86 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 I'll give you a much better Churchill quote. Maybe my favourite... I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly. 2
Chi townD Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Yeah, and Churchill also said," Democracy is the worst form of government, besides all the rest of them." "People should be inspired by quotes, but not let them dictate their lives"- Chi TownD 2
Author AHaze Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 Meh... nevermind. I should have know this would turn into a Churchill discussion rather than thoughts about the actual quote and meaning. It's a quote which has you thinking, especially when you can relate to it, regardless of who said it.
emi Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 i know a quotes that made me think alot also its '' the hardest decision we have to make is try harder or walk away'' GOD DAMN ME
unexpectedlyhere Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Comment on the quote: You CAN go a day without thinking of your ex, if you think of her the way you described. 1
NoLeafClover Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 the only speech of Churchill I know... is the opening of an Iron Maiden concert.

tart6245 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 If you think pursuing your ex will be successful, go for it. I can promise you you won't make any headway. It's been 500 days? It's time to move on... 1
todreaminblue Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 to not give up on something doesnt mean that you cant take the time to heal, you let ti go for a while and then when emotions arent clouding your judgement its time to get back to it...... as far as relationships go i dont think winston was talking about bad or abusive realtionships or one sided relationships...but more concerning things that are yours....a relationship belongs to another also.... and isnt something that can be fought for......if the other party isnt willing to fight its a joint thing....they need to be thinking of you every day as well...if they arent ...its dead in the water never give up...thats my motto...but that is when i really have to fight for something i believe in i will only stand and fight beside someone who feels the same way or for people who feel the same way ill be front and center...cannon fodder..because i will not see anyoen die aroudn me i want to go first...thats what i think winston might have been meaning .....never give up on what you believe in.......you cant believe in a relationship that the other person doesnt beleive in.......they are part of the big picture that is when you let go....when you arent fighting for the same thing..... thanks for the quote......my enlightenment day was when i decided not to fight for a relationship that needed to be let go..........until i knew it was the right thing to do...i never gave up....Winstons quote is a good one....deb 2

You can fight a losing battle all day long, but the end result is always going to be the same. You've been losing for 500 days.....isnt it time you win at something? 1
Author AHaze Posted September 8, 2013 Author Posted September 8, 2013 If you think pursuing your ex will be successful, go for it. I can promise you you won't make any headway. It's been 500 days? It's time to move on... I've moved on, at least to the point where I'm "over it", no longer feel down and depressed... I'm actually on top of the world right now. Genuinely happy again. I never said anything about pursuing my ex, you couldn't pay me to do that... I wouldn't sell my progress for £1,000,000. My point was I seen the quote a few days before I made this thread, and it had me thinking for a while, reflecting on the year I just had... did I take the wrong path by giving up? is it a true quote? is it healthy advice? personally I don't think it is...
joe86 Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Another quote from the man, If you are going through hell, keep going That's one to keep in mind guys!
