heyduh Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 our relationship has died a slow death over the past month and a half or so. the last time i talked to her, she wanted NC so I (dumpee) gave it to her (dumper) and not talked, called, emailed for about two weeks. nothing wrong in the relationship, in my mind, except she fell-out-of-love. (where did i hear that saying: the secret of love is not falling in love, but staying in love .. why don't people understand) anyway today i get a random email from her: "Our deepest fear is not that we are indadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who are we to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God...We are born to make manifest the Glory of God within us. It's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others." that's it .. it is a quote and she didn't write anything else. i googled it and this is what i found: Attributed to Marianne Williamson in her book, A Return to Love does this mean something? or should i continue NC and not read too much into it? she didn't send this as a "forward" ... more like she cut/paste the quote into a reply to my last email to her from a while ago .. but she didn't write anything herself.. hmm
Chinook Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 does this mean something? or should i continue NC and not read too much into it? she didn't send this as a "forward" ... more like she cut/paste the quote into a reply to my last email to her from a while ago .. but she didn't write anything herself.. hmm Seems to me that if you wait... are patient, then all will become clear. She's saying something for sure. As to what it is, you can only wait... I find with stuff like this, it's to provoke a reaction somehow... if you wait... you'll get a response from her worthy of your reaction. Cutting and pasting a quote without qualifying it is a bit immature for my liking. Give her enough time, she'll come forward with what she wants. I think so anyways. Someday people will learn that it's simpler and easier not to play games and to just come right out and say what they want. It makes life easier all the way around. Someday, people will learn that life isn't a game. Someday. Maybe that'll be the day hell freezes over too. (sorry grouchy day today) :|
Big_A Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Cutting and pasting a quote without qualifying it is a bit immature for my liking. Seconded. All she is doing is luring you into reacting. Don’t let her play games with you, wait until she comes up with something worth reacting to.
destination_unknown Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I have that quote on my wall, its something i had to learn the very hard way! I think Nelson Mandela also quoted this in his inaugural speech in 1994. (I actually thought it was his quote, cause thats what it says on the poster i have). I agree with the others, something is trying to be said, but its not being communicated in a clear manner. Wait and let her tell you exactly what she is on about in plain english. In the meantime, try not to read into it. Its gaming her sending something like that with no explanation, she may not be consciously be gaming. People are sometimes not honest out of their own fears and insecurities, but dont pander to that, wait until she comminicates clearly with you. Glad you reminded me of that quote, I see it everyday so I had kind of stopped hearing it.
