I have begun to wonder if I want that "something happens where it gives ya a little bit of hope and throws ya back in the hope mood again", as you mentioned.
Isn't that just stalling the inevitable? I'd like some stability, one way or the other. These last 2 years have been an emotional drain that has effected my productivity across the board. Decisions in limbo, aspirations put on hold and generally dwelling only in the present without hope for change in the future.
I am just so tired of the "he said, she said" that never results in anything but status quo.
