Goodbyes

The hardest thing in the world is to say goodbye. Especially when you know that it had been a fruitful experience. Thoughts like “where did I go wrong?” and “if I could only have done that, then we wouldn’t have come to this” and so many other excuses we give. I’m now realizing that somehow, goodbyes sometimes equate to failures. But they are so final ~ at least they are for me. When one thing ends, there is definitely no guarantee if it’s coming back. When you have to say goodbye to people because of death, there is nothing else you can do but wait for your turn. If you say goodbye to something, say a laptop because it finally crashed on you, when it dies and another laptop replaces it, it’s still not the same. Because you can never get back the experience, the feelings you’ve had with that other thing that you’ve said goodbye to.

So yeah. My point is that goodbyes are hard. They’re gut-wrenching, heart-bursting, and mind-blowing hard.
