Random Thoughts on "GOODBYE"

After five months, I finally came out with a new post. Well, got a lot of stories to tell, random thoughts that I'm sure a lot of you could relate. Lets get it started!

A LOT OF THINGS HAS CHANGED IN FIVE MONTHS. Well, change is really constant, that's a genuine fact.

I always find myself struggling with words everytime I face the computer to start out a new article or post, it's just really hard to find the perfect words that would compliment what you really feel as of the moment. I think that's common to those who makes writing an outlet to let their feelings out, but not to all, some are just really damn good on it. Thus, I'm considering myself a novice in this field, that would justify it I guess.

I was asked one time by a friend "WHY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT GOODBYES ARE HARD?", and I was speechless for ten seconds, then I said "MAYBE BECAUSE GOODBYE MEANS END". Then at this very moment, I'm trying to figure out if what I said made any sense. Perhaps, it can mean both, it can be an end to something and a beginning for another thing, or it can simply be goodbye for now, see you later. I would like to consider both, in all cases, nobody knows what can happen next. ENDINGS ARE BEGINNINGS of BEAUTIFUL THINGS as the song says.

Life is indeed a continuous struggle for what is best and what you truly deserve. Something is in store for everyone of us, we should believe on that. In this voyage perhaps, we meet different people with different point of views, that's the point, we are different from each other as our thumbmarks differ from each one. People come and go, and we should see that as a reality, like yourself, they also need space to grow up and find their own fate, though it's hard, your only resort is to accept it. Acceptance will make all things better, trust me.

"Goodbyes are not the end, it's a circle you know, and it starts with one hello", a resounding lyric of the song ONE HELLO, life goes on.

Why is letting go so hard at times? Is it because of the attachment we have with the people around us? Or should it be because of the fear to lose them in the long run. Well, that's a very hard question, but I guess both are still acceptable. It's the FEAR and the ATTACHMENT combined.

My best learning in this life is that being honest will keep a burden lighter. I learned from it and thus, I would apply it to the coming days of my life (I should've learned it from the very start though). But why does being honest becomes hard sometimes? Maybe because you know that you would hurt other people by doing so, and that's why you will opt to keep it inside you. But that's not the best move, you just need to be true regardless of what other people would feel, it's like will you hurt them now or would you prolong their pain? I got the feeling now, and I understand it even deeper.

Life goes on and on and on. We meet different people and mingle with them, and eventually, we end up losing them. But you always have the venue to start another story, and you are the author of it, you make your own story, you chart it's plot, it's climax, and it's ending perhaps.

All things have endings: songs, movies, a construction of a house, everything, even life has an end. But you should always look on the brighter side of life, be an optimist who lives life like tomorrow will always come. (cue: MY BEST DAYS ARE AHEAD OF ME)

Remember that even in the word "GOODBYE", "good" is still there, that means good things are possible in goodbye, or even better things.

It's about you, it's your story, it's your song.
