say goodbye

The transitions of life are strange. Saying goodbye is hard to do and it's bittersweet. These things I know are true but what makes them so strange and hard to place? I can pretty much tell that this is a universal feeling that most people experience. Or maybe I think too much... Either way life is good, but it's full of so many twists, turns and blunt endings that seem to come out of nowhere. The weirdest feeling in the world is thinking you might not ever see someone again. It's hard to imagine that you can share intense moments with a person and divulge your innermost self to them with the possibility of never seeing or talking to them again. It also makes it hard to trust people when they seem to go in and out of your life often. I guess this is a common occurrence for most people and I'm not the only one who feels deserted or ignored sometimes. Some days you are good friends with people and the next, those same "good friends" could alienate you at the drop of a hat. "They" always say that you can learn something from everything you go through... well what do I learn from this? Not to open up to people or to trust them? Learn not to share a sense of humanity with any random stranger? You be the judge.
