That statement had never ring louder than it did during these past weeks. I have to admit that I have a bit of an issue to get too attached to someone or something easily. Loving my comfort zone, in other words. Hence, it is pretty hard for me to say goodbye and also the reason why I have so many trinkets at home (me = hoarder :p).
At my workplace, 3 people left last month. Two of them were my work team; the people I shared work spaces with, had lunch together, and burned the night oils during overtimes. It was such a shock for me when I learned they were leaving. I felt my heart broke a little. However, it was also really sweet for them to let me know first and I know they have a really good reason to leave: To develop into the people they are meant to be. The environment they were in was no longer conducive for them and as human beings, they (and us all) have the choice to leave and start anew. For that, I gave them credits as it is not always easy to have the courage to close a door and open a new one. Also, I know that this won't really be a goodbye for us as we can now call each other friends.
On a more personal realm, I have finally accepted that the past has passed and the vicious circle of emotions has come to an end. If it's meant to be it will be, but if it's not then God must have a better plan for us. A little prayer I whispered daily: Let us find happiness on our own separate ways.
Letting go is not an easy thing to do. Many times we get too comfortable in our little environment and with the people we are with, which might lead us to complacency. As a result, when something happen that shakes the equilibrium of our little corner of life, we get confused and lost. Instead of accepting that things have changed, we hold on, though in reality there is nothing more we can get from that situation. As I said earlier, we always have a choice. To stay or to go. To close a door or to keep it open. To be happy or to be sad. For now I choose to close some doors and get ready for new ones to open.
