I think by taking time off you are giving space for your true self to develop, to further unfold, even if it feels strange, unfamiliar, and maybe even chaotic right now. I believe--strongly--that people will still love you, maybe even more so if they see your pain. I wonder less about what you have lost and more about what you will have gained when you are a bit further down the path and can look back.
But then, I'm good at being hopeful for everyone but myself.
