I know how hard it is to try to put someone behind and forget them when all you seem to be thinking about is that one person... its hard as hell. And for some damn reason this is not a short process, so you'll feel as if you will never get over that person- but your just healing and eventually- you'll be fine, maybe even better.

I think its a good thing for you that he is going away, it'll give you that time to yourself to find what you really want, OR DONT WANT. Personally, I dont think hes worth it... hanging on to someone who doesnt even know what it is they want- will just bring you more heartache...
