Relationships

I have really given this one a thought. When you are in a relationship with someone I think it is a good thing when you have time to be a part from them. It is important to spend time with them, but you also need time for you. Developing how to function without someone is an important part of life, but we tend to lose that part of us when we are in a relationship. What would happen if you break up? Many things can happen. A lot of people go through depression because they do not have that other person. I know I had this happen to me when I was 18 I was dating this guy, and then he wanted to end it. For me that was really hard. It just came out of nowhere and I lost a part of myself for awhile. Being a young adult, your brain is not fully developed so it is important to find a balance with spending time on your own, and being with a partner. Right now I am learning that, and it can be hard, but sometimes for the sake of the relationship and the other person it is a good thing to do. Don't just think of yourself, think of the other person. I know sometimes that is hard for me to do. They need their space as well. Spending a summer a part can be a blessing.
