SAYING GOODBYE

Since I am young, I always find it hard to say good bye. I remember how it made me feel blue when my mother told me that we will be transferring our home. As a child, the news is heartbreaking because I am not ready to leave our house and my friends. It has been almost 20 years since then and yet I still find it difficult to say good bye.

To say goodbye means people are going in separate ways. Some choose to stay and others choose to go. Whatever we choose, we will always be bidding farewell to some things. Maybe we have to leave our old habits, some places or our loved ones because we need to move on.

When we leave them, we cannot hide the fact that there is pain in there. But we need to do it or else we will be stuck into the same situation for the rest of our lives. There will be no growth if we continue to go back from the past. For a teenager, he would need to say goodbye to his childhood. For a young adult, he would need to say good bye to his teenage life. For a newly wed couple, they need to say goodbye to their single life. You see, saying goodbye is a natural thing in this world.

At first, it will be very difficult to say goodbye. But once we understand that saying goodbye is just natural in this world, it will be a lot easier to accept that there are things that we need to leave behind in order for us to keep going. We have to face each day with readiness in our hearts the possibility of saying goodbye to someone or something.

If I have fully understand that saying goodbye is just natural in this world as the sun rises and sets every day, maybe saying goodbye won’t be as painful as I am experiencing today. Since I already know this, I hope that I would be courageous to say it once there is a need to say it.  Saying goodbye won’t be easy but I have to understand that it is a gift because it would give me the opportunity to say hello to something new.
