Graduation Day

When we say goodbye, It’s amazing to me how quickly your brain starts to process information and there’s a million and one things you should have said but you couldn’t. All the countless times that you spent just talking and getting to know someone its nonexistent but as soon as your forced to say a goodbye the dam breaks and the thoughts flood. I always wondered why that was. I honestly think it’s because as much as people say goodbye to things or each other every day it never gets easier because each of these goodbyes Carry different weight. It isn’t so much in the goodbye or even the person it’s in the aftermath. If I believe that I’m not seeing you again or I wont for a very long time the goodbye carries the weight of the world all the things you never said instead of being on the tip of your tongue they’re spewed out all over but no one is there to witness the mess. When someone leaves you they take a piece of you with them, well it’s not so much that they take it but it’s the place in your heart that they have. Its the blood sweat and tears that engulfs the walls people have built up that you have scaled and conquered to see their core. You never realize the significant moments in your life when they’re happening always as they are taken away from us because the moment is all that is left. The goodbye is what brings the significance because you never thought it would be so hard. The world keeps moving and life goes on and I think that some people will hide behind that. Using it as a reason to not let the full wave emotion overtake them because they don’t believe it will matter in the greater scheme, but these relationships and connections we make are the bigger picture and hopefully we learn from each piece of us that someone takes and we will say the words we want to say before it becomes our last words because despite the supposed closure of a clean farewell the power of realizing you’re in those significant moments will forever be one of the best parts of life.
