That though I am constantly thinking about T, I am also putting my effort into living my life too. Normally I have no self, no life just a deep yearning for T to come back. This time I am missing her but also continuing with life. Each time I feel the feelings of missing T coming on, I get up and do something indoors and feel ever so much better and stronger afterwards and whilst I continue living my life, I feel myself popping back mentally to T, then coming back to my life. yes I'd say I diffenately feel stronger this break and feel more connected with T in her absence, feel rooted with her!
