I feel so uncomfortable right now. A relationship gives me an identity, attaching myself to someone gives me life and right now I am very uncomfortable with no attachment.
I want to stop myself from pursuing anything because I know it would be therapeutic.. I hope that I can learn to walk on the sand without jumping back in for awhile. I need to.

This is important to do! When my son's dad and I did this for good, I went through a bad phase where I needed that attachment but was so afraid to ask for it that I ended up becoming very promiscuous and drinking a lot just because I thought that I needed to feel attached somehow. I think taking some space from a relationship is important, just try and make sure that you have your support system of friends and family around you so that you can rely on them during that time.
