How To Say Goodbye

-

Is there any proven way to say goodbye to someone you love? I don't think so. I think the most important thing to remember is that if you really love someone, goodbyes aren't permanent. It's just 'goodbye for now.' You are telling them that you look forward to seeing them again. 

Saying goodbye isn't easy, but sometimes, it's inevitable. I agree that it's really hard to say goodbye to someone who you have grown close to. It's heartbreaking to see them leave you behind. There's nothing you can do but let them go. 

You have to remember that you'll still have their memories to keep you company. Those moments you shared will give you comfort in the days to come. You will miss them immensely. There's no way to get around that. The initial days will be the hardest. Everything you see will remind you of them. You won't be able to go anywhere without their absence engulfing you. Everything you do will scream emptiness. It will be raw and it will hurt. Your heart and your entire physical being will ache to see them again. (Especially if you don't know when you will ever see them again.) 

I don't think there is any way to get past this completely. I think it's all about knowing that they too will be thinking of you, somewhere far away. You believe that they miss you as much as you miss them. That is the only thing that will give you comfort.

    If you believe that they loved you as much as you did, you can always assure yourself that they will remember you as long as you let them. That's what I believe atleast✌️

Remember that you are a Woman

  Yes, I am one of those girls who spends most of her time with guys. That doesn’t mean I don’t need to remember the fact that I am a woman. Until recently, I thought I would be totally fine with spending all my time with a group of boys. At one point, I found myself deprived of all the things that made me a woman. I didn’t feel respected as a woman. Even though I had a group of male friends around me, I felt an extreme need for female companionship. There are just some things you need another girl for, right? I needed a girl to gossip to. I needed to moan and whine and just talk about the guys in my life. It might sound shallow, but I think it is one of the basic needs of a woman. When I was reading “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus” by John Gray, I noticed how he claimed that women need to be listened to to be validated. That obviously means having someone to talk to. What better place to go to than another woman who makes you feel validated. The world needs more women w...

A Tribute to My Seniors

  Before I start, I’d like to say that this is a very personal post, dedicated to a few very special individuals.  Anderlin, Sharan, Shane, and Mugunthan.  Technically they are my seniors, but they have become something more. These guys are the reason I made it through the year and have become irreplaceable brother figures to me. I may not call them ‘Anna,’ but the respect they earned from me is immeasurable. I still remember the first time I saw them. I was at an ethnic walk practice. It was only my second day there and I wasn’t very confident yet.  The four of them weren’t around on the first day of practice.  That’s when they arrived. They appeared, walking in a straight line. They looked so majestic and powerful that they scared me. They came to stand in front of me and I remember chills running down my spine. None of them were laughing at the moment (you’re not allowed to laugh or smile during an ethnic walk.) I was so intimidated by them. There aren’t wo...

Just Say "I Loved You The Way That You Were."

This is another lyric from The Tortured Poet's Department The Anthology. It's from the song "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus." The lyrics that I want to talk about read "If you wanna break my cold, cold heart just say, 'I loved you the way that you were.'"  These lines touched me. I feel like Taylor is telling us that her lover didn't like the way that she changed. She says that telling her that he loved the way that she was in the past is basically telling her that he doesn't love how she is now. I mean, she could have had her reasons for changing. She has the eyes of the world on her and wouldn't do things without thinking things through.  Yes. People change. If someone can't stick around to learn why, did they even love you to begin with? (I'm not commenting on Taylor's relationships here. I'm speaking in general.) I think that people have to be given the benefit of the doubt here. If some part of their character has c...
