Should we take a break?

My boyfriend and I have been together 9 months. I can’t see my life without him but I think we need to take a break. I get tired of not being the fun and exciting person that I have been my whole life because when we first got together things were’nt this way but now it seems as I have changed and I miss my old life. I can’t see my life without him by myside. But I think we need to take a break to see how it feels, so I can see if I really need to let go. I love him so much and I’m just scared to even take a break but I need to. I’m so confused I only have one teenage life to live and I want to have fun! I need to think about myself for a change and not whats best for him! Maybe we are better as friends but I want him more than my friend. I’m the type of person that wants to do what I want to do and I can’t let him keep making descions for me,Its going to hurt me to do this but I’m so confused and I need some help. I can’t get him off my mind I don’t know what to do to let go! My mind is telling me to leave and my heart is telling me to stay! I just dont want to make the wrong descion and regret it! I need some advice!
