Great question, 25.

What am I doing to stop my pattern?

I'm going to therapy. I'm letting W go and not asking her to stay. And I'm not going to date anyone to slap a band-aid on my broken heart.

I totally get that detaching is good for me. And some days I do feel detached and I'm able to joke with people and smile.

Other days (particularly this week as I count down the days until W is 1,000 miles away with D)are much harder for me.
