A new mindset for Burned. This is thread 7.

Don't read into what the silence means too much. It's unproductive at best and will set you up for a letdown at worst.

Just look at your next line about getting temp checked and ask yourself if you're ok with being part of her little game or if you'd rather be your own person. Detachment doesn't happen all at once, nor does it always happen in a linear fashion. A setback is only as big of a deal as you make. Live and learn.

You say you're "anticipating a dark season". Well life, seasons, and everything else end up being what you make of them". So "act as if" things will be great, then go and make your life great. Quit sulking.
