Hi Mr. Moose, I just wanted you to know I read what you wrote and your post was seen. I do hope that writing what you've written has helped get it out of your mind for you. Do you feel lonely? Or just alone? I personally think loneliness is a more painful feeling, and aloneness, like you said, is just solitary. Regardless, it makes sense that after the end of a long term relationship, you would feel alone, and perhaps it's a weird feeling but not bad. Perhaps the newness of it is what makes it feel strange. Do you feel like you want to enhance your life in some way during these solitary times? Like taking up a hobby or learning something new?
