L, although I know we made the right decision about taking a break (and do you realize this was the first time we've taken a break where I didn't instigate it but we instead arrived at the decision together? Or well, more like we were each independently thinking it this time and so our conversation just organically went that way and the decision was then made together.) I feel.... a little adrift, maybe? But also a sense of freedom.

Also, thank you for saying that you know I'll be back and that "this isn't goodbye". I needed to hear that.
