Ever heard of Deactivation? I hadn’t either. But it explains a lot about my do-or-die relationships and flighty nature. 

A die-hard companion. A martyr for relationships. A friend until the end. (READ: A codependent mess) UNTIL I’M NOT. Here for you one day, freaked out and disappeared the next. Is this a shitty personality, or survival instincts gone wrong? 

Time to research something new – Deactivation.
