FP- person I'm dating- didn't message me for a few days, and I just... didn't care. I thought, "oh well, there's more to my life than this person," and I genuinely hadn't picked up my phone in hours. I was lying there completely fine with the thought of them never responding to me again, and I guess I kind of just accepted that it happens sometimes and it isn't a reflection of me. Sometimes people will leave you, and that's just life. Boom. Massive realisation. 

And as I am lying there, miffed I've been ghosted, but not hurt or upset (fear of abandonment who?) they decide to reply, apologise for the lack of communication and say they had family issues. 

So now my brain is working over time to process this, but I think it's progress?
