Hello, Goodbye

On this rainy day, I am saying goodbye to yet another phase in my life. 

Life is full of hellos and goodbyes. Often times, we are happy to say hi without realizing that it will lead to a goodbye. Just when I said hello to some people few years back I have to let go of them now. And while I am saying goodbye to the life that I supposedly have love-hate relationship with, I have to reluctantly say hello to the life that I supposedly so wanted to have back. This feels like 8th grade all over again, a never ending cycle of meetings and farewells. 

It did not occur to me that the trip to Bali was probably our last time spending so much time together. Now that we are separated by the land, seas and different timezones, I can only wonder what they are doing, what kind of new friends they are meeting. 

Turning into a new page in life is painful, no one says that it’s going to be easy anyways. I just hope that this really is the best paths for all of us to take on. My mom always says there are a thousand ways to Rome. Likewise, there are thousand ways to success and we’ll probably meet again somehow. 

Given our current situations, let's meet again someday
