Breaks in the routine; breaks for sanity, getting clarity, moving in a new direction with a new purpose. Breaking up, apart: mysterious sometimes, other times not at all, true for both whether one instigated it or not. May not have instigated it wittingly…
I hate it when things break. You expect some things to last a lot longer than they do.
On the other hand, one must question the attachment to something that can break so easily. Throw it out and try something different.
