When you end a relationship with someone else, you were involved with that person. Hopefully, you were still an individual person, but you were involved with them. And there were certain connections that were there; there was stuff being exchanged with them. That's what it means to be intimate with someone.

When a relationship comes to an end, there—you have to kind of pull those strings back in. You have to stop that exchange, and it takes a minute for all that stuff to stop pumping and flowing back and forth. We're used to doing it—that's how everything is moving—and it's sad to see all of that come to an end.

And come back to it—hopefully, we're still the person and the individual while we were in the relationship and while we were single. So, hopefully, that relationship with yourself is always there. But there is a part where we're not sharing ourselves nearly as much, and we have to let those things collect back into us.

And we know it—we come back to a sense of wholeness about it. And again, we're not grieving as much. The sadness has passed away because we've let what was a relationship come to an end. And then we're ready to go out and start looking at opportunities to connect with someone new.
