The Power of Goodbye

No, I am not retiring from writing this blog. I've just started, this is all just the beginning. What I want to share on this post is something about goodbye. Everyone uses the word "goodbye" at least once a year, or more. "Goodbye" seems only just a simple word, but believe me once you say it, or think about it, there's a power in it.

Before you say goodbye or before any goodbye, well in this case death is not included - you barely know when you're gonna die or when someone will die - I want you to not doing whatever I have done. You have to enjoy every moment you have, you have to be able to brace yourself because sometimes a goodbye means a real goodbye, you'll never get to see someone again in your life. And before that, I want you to enjoy every moment you have with that person. You can't turn back time, we all know that, well unless you're in the "Tomorrowland" film, that you can go to the past or the future. In this case, you're living your own life, and so am I.

I know that someone is maybe a real jerk to you, the most terrible person you've ever known. Maybe that person used to bother you just to know you more, they teased you a lot, well let me tell you that you're gonna miss that a lot. Yes, a lot. I want you all, to enjoy that horrible moment you have with that person, you never know, maybe that jerk will become your best friend in the future, or someone who has the strongest bond with you. Who knows?

You meet someone for some reasons, there's always been a reason to explain why you meet or know each other. Some people say that the hardest thing to do is saying goodbye. I don't think so, the hardest thing is not being able to breathe for more than 15 minutes. Okay, maybe the second hardest thing really is to say goodbye. I've experienced once, the hardest one, but it's left untold. I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to the person I was referring to. We only made that very last eye contact, like we know we're not gonna see eaach other in a very very long time. Indeed that's the fact.

That's why, if you have that one last chance to enjoy your day with that person, make time for that, appreciate the chance that's been given to you. Okay maybe you're still gonna meet that person in the future. But, certainly they will not be whoever they are today. You're gonna meet the new them, and they're not gonna change themselves just because they meet you. It'll be totally different. And that's the point I'm trying to say here. When you say goodbye then you actually letting their present self gone, and you let them change into someone better - well hopefully. The thing is, what if they become someone worse, or we become someone worse in their eyes? We can't possibly know it until they tell us. We can't always stay the same right? We have to evolve in order to get accepted in the place where we live today.

Therefore, I want you, who are lucky for reading this, to enjoy every moment with people around you today. You never know what's gonna happen next, you're not a prophet. People around you are there to teach you something, and it'll always be like that whether you like it or not. You won't understand the lessons that moment, you're not actually learning integral at school, this is a life lesson. Soon you will understand why those jerks are being put around you. So, stand tall and enjoy every moment! You won't be able to enjoy it again in the future.

Enjoy every moment, live that moment, and brace yourself for goodbyes. Because goodbye means new era, it means there's gonna be "hello"s. Even if there aren't any hellos, be thankful to God for letting you understand what a goodbye really means. And one more thing, time can heal most anything.
