Farewell
So I had to say goodbye to my family a week ago. The longer we live on separate continents the better we learn to deal with it. Or so it seems. But the missing doesn't really get less, because we are painfully aware of the time passed. There's something about goodbyes... I always feel like there's something left unsaid, something lost. I guess it's just the nature of it. Goodbyes make chapters out of time and make you feel like you can't leave the ends loose. You want to conclude, make a statement. But then it's too much and you'd rather get it over with fast. I've gotten good at them. Goodbyes, I mean. I have practice. You develop a certain discipline. Unfortunately it doesn't make them easier at all.
