goodbyes

here via here

goodbyes are a tricky business.

sometimes they are long overdue. necessary. finite.

they can be the result of circumstance and not desire.

a unilateral decision.

the worst goodbyes are the ones you don't want to happen. the ones you know don't need to happen. the ones that you feel in your heart. where even though the goodbye should be temporary you know the slim odds of ever saying hello again.

the most we can do with a goodbye is embrace it. know that things happen for a reason. cherish the memories. look forward to the changes that will come, and believe in a friendship's ability to survive over distance and time.

happy friday my duckies!
