When you're lonely, people often tell you to use that time, or that they themselves wouldn't mind being left alone. They can say this, because they're not alone and don't know what it's like.
When I got unceremoniously dumped this summer, I mentioned transferring schools to a couple of people, who advised me to just suck it up for one more year. What they don't realize is that I'm in my mid-to-late 20s and don't have that wonderful time to just "wander" or "find myself". And what I want isn't even that hard to get. A good, supportive group of people. Not even necessarily another love interest. Just a group of friends, people to go on road trips with or hang out with or whatever.
My closest friend is an engaged 29-year-old who was another non-trad student who disappears and reappears because she's got her own mental hang-ups. But she can do that because she lives with her fiancee and has a group of friends. She said that while my dream trip would be wandering South America with her/others hers would be doing it alone.
That doesn't appeal to me! I do everything alone! That's the whole problem!
