Breaking Up is Hard to Do

I have that stupid song from the All State commercial stuck in my head. It's certainly not helping things. My boyfriend of the past 3 1/2 years drove over last night to break up with me. It took him about 20 minutes to actually say it, and his reasons make sense. He kept saying over and over that it was the hardest thing he'd ever done and he didn't really know what to do. But that he was just in a place right now that he needs to be able to find himself and figure out what he's going to do with his life. Also that we're in two different places right now in life, which is true. He wants to keep going to school or go travel the world, and I'm almost done and am going to have to find a "real" job come the spring. I think what sucks the most is that I totally understand what he said. And I know that this probably is the right thing to do, but that doesn't make it hurt any less. I made him spend the night and not drive the hour home since he was upset and it was about 1 am. He left early to get back for class, but I got up to see him off. I can't go back to sleep and so far I've cleaned up the kitchen and put all the pictures of us in the closet. I also need to get all the tears out of my system since I have a presentation to do at lunch time and have to go to work. I think I'm going to go get some laundry done, but I just needed to share.
