Goodbye


Everyday, there are certain words we use without really thinking of what they exactly mean, as a single word can mean anything depending on how they are used. A single word can change a lot of things, from one situation to another.

One of the most used words (as I know of..) is the word "goodbye" or in a shorter version "bye". This is often used when we're about to part ways with someone, or even something, we may be close with, or just to have a proper manner of leaving something. But when we say it, what do we really mean by it? Does it mean "See you soon/some other time/etc"? Or maybe "We'll keep in touch." or it's one of those times where you will never see or hear from each other again?

In my life I've had to say goodbye to a lot of people and things in my life, and it wasn't really that easy for me. I grew up to be someone who gets attached easily to someone/something, or just someone who loves company and finds it hard to part ways with someone/something. I'm someone who grew up, and learned to love whatever comes my way, and find it hard to just let go when it's time.

Goodbye, is a short, yet very complicated word when used. It can bring joy to someone, as it can mean to looking forward to another day seeing you, or it can also break you in to pieces, as it can be permanent -- depending on the situation, maybe because of problems, or even death.

So, when we say goodbye, what do we really mean by it? How do you properly say goodbye, without having anyone get hurt?
