Whop-Bang-Boom!

I suppose you all have heard by now... but...
Kristen and I have decided that it's best for both of us to not really be in a relationship together anymore. We've been together for nearly 3 years (in October) and since she was 17 and I was 21. We've decided it would do us both good to be on our own (sorta) for a bit to do some growing (hopefully not growing apart) up. We came together when I was miserable, and needed a friend very badly. She has become my best friend and more, and that hasn't changed. Now, we're going to try it out as being best friends without the relationship stuff. Truthfully, it's going to be hard to separate that out, since we'll still be living together for another year, besides the other obvious difficulties.
So, that's how things are for now. We're still living together, just not as a "couple". I don't think either of us will dating other people any time soon though. So instead of the original plan of me staying down here an extra year (since Kristen has 2 more to go), I guess I'll be looking for a job and entering the "real world" after this year is up.
This definitely changes a lot of things... my whole future plans I guess. Right now things are suprisingly alright. I'm pretty sure we'll always be friends, and who knows, maybe we'll end up together again in a couple years...
So don't worry about me, I'm doing fine, we're doing fine. I'll be alright. It could be much worse.
