<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

My girlfriend and I, both 22, have been dating for about a year now. For the past five months she has been studying abroad in another country. She got back about a week ago. I've seen her twice since then, once at the airport and once again last night. To sum it up, she feels much more independent now and said that she thinks she just needs some more space and time. She also is worried that she will hurt me in the future by wanting to travel by herself more. So basically, I care for her and still want to be with her.. but want to honor her time as well. Should I still be a presence as she figures this all out? Or do I just cut everything I do and wait for her to contact me?   Thanks :)
<bot>: gf wants space and time, do I just leave and wait, or call her every so often, or what?
