Time For Goodbyes
About three years ago, I had made a new friend right here in my room. A lady friend of mine had visited myself and my roommate and she had come along with her own roommate (probably for security reasons because she probably felt scared visiting two guys alone), and we had all hit it off immediately. That day marked the beginning of a beautiful friendship and then I saw myself visiting them more frequently and surprisingly, this was all real genuine friendship. At least I knew that I wasn't trying to get anything from this ladies, I just liked their vibe and enjoyed spending time with them.
And apparently they did too but then we went for one year Industrial Training and being the asshole (forgive my French) that I am, I stopped communicating with them because I really don't know how to keep in contact with people that I'm not seeing face to face, probably one of the reasons why I have a very bad relationship with my dad's siblings because I never call or text them and they keep on complaining.
Anyways, I came back to school and for some reason I no longer felt the vibe like I used to, probably due to the almost one year of not communicating. I would occasionally see them on the road and would wave or exchange pleasantries if they were closeby and that was mostly it.
I remember them complaining ones or twice about me now becoming distant from them and not visiting them anymore and I had given them one flimsy excuse or the other, something dumb and I guess it just became obvious to them that I just wasn't the same person anymore and so they gave up, until this evening when I saw one of them.
I don't know if it was coincidence or just fate but I had met one of them on the road and the moment she told me about her plans of travelling tomorrow and probably not returning anytime soon (she also just graduated), I began to feel bad about the whole thing. And strangely for some weird reasons, I found myself talking about three years ago and how we had all suddenly became best of friends before turning into strangers again.
Of course she wasted no time to blame me for that part but then I soon found myself feeling sad because this was the part of graduating the university that I wasn't ready for yet, the part where I get to say goodbye to a lot of my friends because we all don't know where life would take us next.
Well, we had said our goodbyes and promised to stay in touch but knowing the kind of guy that I am, I give it a week and I'm back to not texting or calling her.
Hello @prayzz I noticed how consistent you have been on Hive but not on Inleo threads, I would appreciate it if you could drop a thread
I can imagine how you feel. I think it will be good for you to work on that aspect of you not communicating with anyone you’re not seeing face to face
Enjoy!
I try.. But I always end up failing.

That's life and I know that I will go to feel the same experience which is just a matter if time. It's hard to say goodbye but there are no ways to avoid it. Nobody knows if next time we will meet or not 😮💨?
Yeah.. Which is why we have to try to prepare ourselves for it, although I feel we never can be really prepared to say goodbye.
Goodbyes are sad for the most part. Except the goodbye you say to the school you're graduating from and all other uncomfortable things. I guess that's the part no one paid attention to. Forming good relationships and having to goin separate directions later can hurt bad. But that's life. Wouldn't be the same but you can still always keeping touch, and who knows, you may get to see one another sooner.
Yeah you're right. It's life and it's something that's unavoidable.. We just have to look for a way to get used to it or at least try.
I can relate, most people are not too good at building relationships from afar. I think it is better you learn how to connect with friends no matter the distance.
Yeah I think so too.. I just don't know how.
