I think the first step is to discuss boundaries with your boyfriend. You're still cuddling and sleeping in the same bed, and that may get confusing or send mixed messages.

Also know you don't have to wait around forever. I'm not saying give him an ultimatum, but if he needs more time than you are willing to give, that's okay too and it's okay to end things if that happens. Waiting around for a long time hurts, and it's time you could be using to process things and move forward.

I'd work on self-improvement on this break. I'm not saying change things about yourself, but use this time to work on yourself and grow as a person.

The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
