"Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye." This is clearly a question for the ages. Why is it that some people never leave your heart? Why is it that you can feel lonely in a room full of people, simply due to the absence of a specific person? How many times does a conversation, or a touch, or a look have to play over in your mind before it is finally enough?
What is it about memories that can make them a comfort at one moment and a torture at the next? I seem to have a lot of questions this morning, but a gray day can do that to you. Outside my window is a dichotomy of green and gray. The perfect colors to match my mood today. I feel lonely, yet I know that anyone I meet will not remove the emptiness that I feel at this moment. The gray symbolizes the quagmire that I seem to be swimming through sometimes. Meanwhile, the green looks like the horizon I am swimming towards. There's life there and treasures to find, if I can only reach it. We all have our own paths to follow in life. Sometimes, the paths lead into a swamp. The trick is, not to get stuck there. Slog through it and look forwards to the next landscape in your life. Remember, life is an adventure, and there are no goodbyes. Everyone that you meet and care to see again, you will... at the end of your journey. The more people you allow into your life, the grander the party in the next life. Outside my window, the sky is beginning to brighten. And I realize that a goodbye doesn't have to be an end...just an interlude. In the meantime, there are plenty more hellos left to say. You just need to put yourself in a position to say them. In the future, try to keep your goodbyes short and let your hellos linger. You'll get more out of life letting new people in, rather than fretting over past goodbyes.
