What silence says

I have wrestled and struggled with my emotions for the past two days, since xAP fished and I got over the angry part. I desperately wanted to respond--to see how he is doing, to offer some comfort, to have my ego stroked. I had to employ the 48 hour rule. I promised myself that much, because there were moments when I really thought I was going to cave.

I have decided to remain silent because this is what silence says:

  • It is over.
  • I have taken my power back.
  • I am no longer

Silence to me, in the very beginning, was protection from myself and from him.

What does silence mean to you?

I am done with the drama.
I am in control.
There's nothing left to say.
That it speaks volumes.

Alwayst, good job in waiting it out. The 48 hour rule should apply to everything in life when it comes to making choices and decisions.

Hugs to you,
Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life. ~ Buddha

Silence means to me:

Peace

Freedom

Moving on

Letting go

The final act

Sanity

Self Respect

Separation from the drama

Clarity

Empowerment

Committment to myself

Belief that I deserve more

Boundaries

  • It’s over on ALL levels
  • There is nothing xAP has to say that I want to hear and nothing further that I need to say to him.
  • I’m leaving the past in the past and have my focus where it needs to be on the present and the future.
  • I’m in control of my actions.
  • Actions speak louder than words
  • I have new boundaries.
  • I have insurance against any accidental sightings, path crossing, or phishing attempts and “Like a good neighbor, Silence is there!”

In the beginning, silence was my Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.

Silence means I have to face myself.
It means that anxiety is gone.
It means that I am heard without saying a word.. a peep
It means that I can listen, and am forced to, even when I do not want to.
Even on a rough day, I can hear my inner voices steering me out of nonsense.
It's a tool that goe to every aspect of my life, not just getting over an A.
