WAW is full steam ahead

Hey...don't say anything about going dark. just do it! don't mention anything that you are doing...just do it.

If you bring it up, it will look like you are doing it only because you want her back. Yes, that's one ultimate goal, but in reality, some of the things you do are really for yourself. By going dark, you can stop causing more pain and hopefully take a sort of "time out" during this process.
