Hey Everyone,

I've been posting a lot about my very rocky relationship with my boyfriend and tonight we talked and finally came to an agreement that right now is not a good time for us to be together. We decided that we'd take some time apart and still talk once in a while and see what becomes of that but being together currently is just not a good idea. I've been so scared of breaking up with him because I thought that I'd be so depressed but something about it feels so relieving. I've been hurting in this for so long that it feels like that pain has just gone away and I can finally move on from this. Sure, thinking about the happy times hurts, but more than anything I'm just glad we could talk and agree that in order for both of us to be happy we need to be apart for a while. I'll always care about him and I'd like to know how his life is going but I know now that him and I will never work out and I can't even begin to describe all the emotions I'm having but I know I needed this soooo much. This is the happiest I've been in so long, as odd as that may seem. I just needed to share all of this because all of the advice I've been getting on here has been so helpful. Thanks to everybody.

Love Alana
