It's a normal day, you log into Facebook and you see everyone posting depressing statuses.
It's that time of year again, students are going off to college, friends are being broken apart and everyones depressed. It's at that point I realized, what if goodbyes really aren't good? I mean...Sure, sometimes they're happy goodbyes, you see a friend go off to college to start a new chapter in their life. But other times, it's sad.
A family member or close friend passes away, it's sad. But it can also be a happy thing. If you're the religious type, and they've lived a wonderful life, then you know they're in a better place. That's the happy side of death, but for example, sometimes you're really close to the love one you lost, well, of course you'd be depressed for a while. But after a while, you'd be getting over it easier and easier. It may be hard, but sometimes it's what you'd have to do.
Now onto college goodbyes, sure you'd have to say goodbye for a while, but you know sometimes the person who goes off to college comes back. Or they don't, it's hard to really think about. But sometimes, goodbyes don't mean forever. I know many people have had to say goodbye to their friends as they go off to college, and honestly, I don't know their pain. Most of my friends have stayed around here for college, and others of my friends I just lost contact with. College is a different chapter in a person's life, we just to remember that.
But does goodbye really mean forever?
That's a question that's answered with time.
