A friend told me today she asked my ex if she ever saw a chance of us getting back together...she told my ex if she did that she should start thinking about it because none of us are getting any younger etc. Apparently my ex told her categorically that she didn't see us back together now or in the future. A part of me wanted to believe she said this because it's expected of her but a part of me was devastated. I'm not letting it get me down but I'd appreciate any thoughts....preferably positive ones 🙂

See what you did here? You ALWAYS get what you expect. It can't be any other way. You attracted that, you can change it.

You attracted that information to you, because it's what you expect. I would suggest to not think about it at all and thinking about what you want instead. Feeling good and focusing on what you want is the only answer I have. It isn't that simple to implement it in every situation, but you have to start doing it to get better at it.
