My boyfriend broke up with me

We broke up after a year of dating. He said the distance had become a burden for him and that he didn't want to put so much pressure on himself. In case you're wondering what I asked him, I simply asked him to talk to me and not be a ghost. But I'm happy because I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel free to try new things even though I feel a kind of emptiness due to the lack of comfort
