Serious Relationships

My boyfriend and I were together for over a year and are taking a break right now to focus on ourselves and improve ourselves without each other because we need to grow as individuals. Our relationship is really serious, we are only seniors in high school but our love for each other is very serious and we’re more mature than most people our age. I really miss him and don’t know how long until we are back to our old selves.

Has anyone dated someone and then gotten back together after a while?

Any coping method ideas to get my mind off him and focus on myself?
