I've had to say goodbye more times than I would've liked, but anyone can say that. And no matter how many times we do it, even when it's for the greater good, it still stings. And though we'll never forget what we've given up, we owe it to ourselves to keep moving forward. What we can't do is live our lives always afraid of the next goodbye. Because chances are, they're not gonna stop. The trick is to recognize when a goodbye can be a good thing... when it's a chance to start again.
Definitely there's no easy way to say goodbye most especially to people we cared and loved the most. Those people we got used to spending our every day with. No matter how painful it is though, we have to let go at some point. It's gonna be real heart-breaking, depressing for some, and others might even go crazy.
Though it took me more than a couple of years to finally let go of that one person I trully loved, I finally made it this time. For real. I'm not afraid to see him anymore because I can't feel the pain that I used to feel before. I still get sad sometimes, but that's just normal. I regret too most of the time. The thing is, I'm not really sure what I regret about. Is it because I loved him and I was hurt so much because of that? Or is it because we can't even look at each other now as if we never knew each other?
I guess what happened to us, us saying goodbye to each other has been a good thing. I won't say it was for the best. But it was a good thing. And yes, it was definitely a chance to start again.
Now I'm not afraid of goodbyes. That last painful goodbye made me much stronger I suppose. It's still not easy for me to let go of things or people I got used to being with but I'm not such a big girl's blouse anymore.
So yeah... not all goodbyes are bad. :)
So... goodbye for now! :)
