Enrty #10: I'm not saying goodbye
Goodbyes commonly in culture is considered something tragic. The main character in the sunset background sadly turns to his comrades, and sees their faces for the last time with a hard sigh, saying "Goodbye my friends". What emotions, what drama, so much went through instead and just like that!
I always found curious the way how black and white people thought about the end of some journeys, usually they either think that these people stay together until death until the death tears them apart, or just in the opposite way they become strangers to each other and never meet again just like in one old song..
People lose each other, and then they will never find each other"

.. and doesn't even matter, they just save the whole world, kill the Dark Vampire Lord, win the VCT Berlin, or just graduate from the community college. As always happens, in real situations the truth is somewhere in the middle. We should easily take the parting because the end of any story is just the start of a new one. Don't give up on old friends and at the same time don't stick to the same people, hissing on every living creature within 5 feet around you, be thankful for all experiences that you get from them, not focusing on only good or only bad, and just fill free to create a new acquaintance. As for me? I would say simply:
I'm not saying goodbye, I'm saying see you later!
I have never thought about goodbyes as something tragic, honestly when I say goodbye I think about it as a 'see you later' or a 'we will still meet one day even in our dreams' type of thing. I think I need to reevaluate how I say "goodbyes" now, expressing my goodbyes in other ways will definitely be more of a challenge to remember but it will definitely let me connect to anyone I am talking too.
