I need some help

dear ents, I once would have counted myself one of you, but I have since fallen, and instead of preferring a smoke, I have taken to a drink instead. nonetheless, I trust you and your judgement above any other. I think I might have messed up. Months ago, I broke with my girlfriend, she was wonderful to me, and one of the best people I've met, but we had chosen different universities, and I was far from ready for a long distance relationship. Since then, I have had long and hard to think about what was, and what could have been. In this time, I have decided that I have made a mistake, yet I still think that I made the right choice, and in this I implore you for your opinion, have I taken the true path? Or have I been grievously misguided?
