I've been thinking a lot about the difference btw detaching and going dark. I was going dark a while ago, but I actually have been detaching since. The not-reacting to the W, or just brushing things off even if the situation is not what I wanted, the keeping a happy demeanor and not let things get to me...I think I've been doing that. Maybe not well, but doing it anyway.
I guess detaching is showing your best self and not let the sitch get to you regardless of what the ultimate outcome will be. Is that it? I think I'm about 75-80% there. Carlos and Michelle said once that being at peace is a good goal to shoot for. I think I'm there now. I am at peace with myself...and I'm not even mad at W!
Anyway, for all it's worth...
