missroseroseEnding a relationship is never an easy thing. Sometimes it's harder than others, but if you can get into a really intense relationship that lasts any length of time and then, when things fall apart, just walk away with no regrets, you've likely got something wrong with you.
Ending a relationship can often be a very relieving thing. Especially when you've known for a while that it's not something that's going to last long-term. It's fun while it lasts, but eventually you realize that unless something/someone changes drastically, it's going to have to end soon.
I think the hardest thing to deal with about the end of this particular relationship is that, for the first time in several years, I'm having to define myself as just that - myself. I'm so used to thinking of myself in the context of having someone there, and suddenly I just...don't. I don't even have any particular prospects lined up - everyone I've been spending time with recently is either already involved with someone or not interested (or I'm not interested in them). While I won't say that there isn't anybody I'm attracted to, there's certainly nobody I'm planning on pursuing anytime soon...
I think it's a good thing that I'm learning to define myself. It just means that I'm sort of at loose ends for a while...here's hoping that I adjust, eventually.
