The Bittersweet Goodbyes

As most people do I hate goodbyes, they are the pits. However goodbyes are a part of life, that we will never be able to avoid. We can say hello one minute and soon after be bidding farewell to something great. I feel as though I have had to say goodbye more than enough times in these short 26 years that I have lived. Having to say goodbye to my two best friends in the whole world was hard but as of late I am having to say goodbye to a new friend. A friend with whom I have only known for a little amount of time but yet and still I feel like its just as hard to say goodbye. Maybe it is so hard for me to say goodbye because I feel as though I have had to do it so much, or maybe its because goodbyes are just hard by themselves. Whatever the reason I wished they didn't exist but they do so I am going to just have to deal with them as they come. On the other hand if we didn't have to say goodbye to things or people then we wouldn't ever know the reasons they were put in our lives in the first place. Sometimes we have to say goodbye for better things to come, to know what those things mean to us, or how good they really are to us. I feel as though I will truly learn something from this goodbye just because its a different goodbye. I don't feel as though it is the end of this newly found friendship that has just began but maybe the beginning to a longer one with a little distance in between. The great thing is we are still going to be friends and I get to go to a new city that I have never visited before and maybe take on some new adventures. One thing is certain this goodbye won't be easy but this friend is definitely someone worth missing and will certainly be missed very much. <3
