Pebbles in a pond

[celinedionsfan]

We are all like pebbles in a pond ... we know where we are dropped into the water but we never know just how far the ripples we create reach or whose lives we may touch ... we never know when something we say or post might be just what someone else needed to hear or read at that moment.

MazCeline, VanMerlin, BGold50, LamourpourCeline, YellowLine, Bag and Celinefull... thank you!

No, hon, thank YOU.

 

Your post and words are the essence of kindness.

Ah VanMerlin ... I am but a reflection of your kindness and gentleness ... for I am only giving back such a small part of what you have given me.

 

[yellowline]

[celinedionsfan]

No, mon amie, thank you ... you help me laugh and smile ... and it's been awhile since I have laughed so much!

 

[yellowline]

You're welcome !!!!

 

It's a pleasure to laugh with you

 

It's too fun !!!!

That is really touching, you should know that your story gave me perspectiveo on my relationship, and I realised that I shouldn't settle for anything less than love, because you found that and even though you lost it it still made your life better just for having it.

 

so thankyou.

Never just settle for anything, Damien ... especially not in a relationship ... never be with someone just to avoid being alone ... been there, done that in the past and it is very painful because the other person doesn't have the same feelings and never will and one day you come face to face with the truth ... that what you thought was real wasn't. So I am very blessed to have been loved by Karen ... to have had someone in my life who loved me and whom I loved ... and I believe that you will find that same kind of love ...

I completely know that, I know that he's wrong but the problem is I can't seem to stop from caring about him, when he totally doesn't care about me at all, and I just keep getting hurt over and over again.

[celinedionsfan]

Damien ... believe me when I say ... BEEN THERE, DONE THAT ... those are not just words ... that was my reality ... I cared deeply for a woman who had no interest whatsoever in having a relationship that went beyond friendship ... and I was willing to settle for loving someone who would never return my love in the same way because I had convinced myself that I was in love with her ...

I allowed myself to be hurt by things she did ... or didn't do ... and I even attempted to continue the relationship after she moved to another state ... which we actually did for awhile ... I even flew out to spend a weekend with her ... and it took quite awhile to let go of that ... but I finally did ... and in time ... so will you because in your heart you know you deserve so much better ... it's just the letting go ... the uncertainty of thinking you might be spending your life alone ... that makes it so hard.

[mazceline]

thankyou x x x

[Krys]

no need to thank me what are friends for? *hugs*

[1Celine12]

Maybe these thank yous should go in The offical Thank You topic started by me.

[Célinefull]

well, that topic was started after this one, wasn't it? So if it was going to be one or the other, it would have to be this one, seeming as general forum rules state that the first post is the one that should stay open?!

[mazceline]

doesnt matter does it were friends thats all that matters

[Bellamy]

I don't think we need an official topic of every general topic.

that made sense not

[1Celine12]

I just thought that my topic would be easier to go to and say your thank yous. It looked like this one was gonna be a two sided conversation. You can go to which ever one suits your fancy.

Actually I started this topic to express how I felt about the people on this forum who had reached out to me ... and I thought that anyone else who wanted to express their feelings about those whose ripples have touched their lives could do so ... it was never intended to be an exclusive topic ... rather I'd hope members would feel welcome and encouraged to use this topic as a way of letting others know that they had touched their lives.

Interesting ... that you decided after reading 3 posts that this topic was going to be a two-sided converstion...

[mazceline]

i think you are great i just wish we lived near each other to share a coffee

[celinedionsfan]

And I think you are great, too, Maz!

Is there a reason why she can't or won't do anything? Can you do anything? If she really does love you ... if you are sure ... then yes, honey, it is so worth the wait!

 

[mazceline]

She is straight but been with me loves me so much it hurts thats why we have to stay away, we work together she ignores me but brushes up against me or kisses me, she has hurt me too much for there ever to be anything now, other night (has not spoke for ages) said do you miss me cause i miss you so i went straight to the bottle, i can not let her do it anymore.

[celinedionsfan]

Oh Maz ... this is not the woman you need to be with ... this is someone who is going to use you and hurt and will continue to do that as long as you let her ... you have to understand that you deserve so much better than what she calls love ... and you have to believe that you will find that woman ... when you least expect it!

My friends say she will carry on cause she knows when she clisks her fingers you will go running sad thing is its true, i dont get down now over that i just thought id found mrs right,

[celinedionsfan]

Your friends are right, Maz. As long as you give her that power, she will use it ... in time ... Maz ... in time ... you will find her ... just remember ... this girl is a pebble, too and she touched your life for a reason ... perhaps to help you understand what love is and, more important, what love IS NOT!

[1Celine12]

Maz, who is this girl that you talk about? I need to know so I can be in the conversation if you want my imput. :)

[VanMerlin]

You don't need to know who the woman is, Dana. You only need to know how she effects Maz's life. That's all that matters. It's not the person, but the essence of that person in your/someone else's life.

 

Maz, remember that love doesn't hurt. It has it's moments, of course, but it doesn't burn with the pain of dissatisfaction. If you aren't someone's dream as much as they are yours, then it's not a match made in bliss. It's only something to prepare you for the great things to come. It will teach you how to recognize real love when it comes along, but don't let a false love distract you from what else may come to you. Free yourself for beautiful opportunities.
