This "I-don't-care" attitude is serving me very well. It's made everything so much easier to handle! I'm not getting mad at comments I hear, I'm not stressing (too much) over my current situation, and I've found that I can breathe again without feeling sick to my stomach.

My flippancy has not gone fully unnoticed, but I refuse to reveal my secret. Do people need to know that my doing this I feel somewhat dead inside? NOPE! Does anyone really need to know that my soul is only 3/4 intact because it's the only way to keep safe? No way. This is the way that I want/need to live my life right now and that's what I'm going to do. I've been here before and survived and I'll do it again.
