I never want to say goodbye. You might've noticed, I always say 'Goodnight!' or 'Talk to you later!' or anything along those lines, but I will always avoid using goodbye.
Well, almost always.
When I say goodbye, I feel like I've given it closure. I feel like, if anything happens, if I do something, I would never feel like I left in the middle of something. So I avoid using goodbyes, because it gives me a reason to stay everyday. It gives me the reason, 'Wait - I haven't finished this off properly, I haven't closed this relationship with them. I haven't told them that this might be the last time they see me. I can't leave without saying goodbye properly.'
If there's one thing I feel really strongly about, it's leaving things unfinished. This doesn't just include homework; this includes every single tiny thing. In this case, it means friendships. I am not leaving a friendship without closing the chapter. I just... I have to say goodbye. At least I'll have given them warning, even if they didn't recognise it.
Goodbye is such a strong word. People throw it around as if it's nothing, but it really is everything. Goodbye is the end of everything for me.
