It’s not easy to say goodbye, but sometimes it’s necessary to do it – Beautiful Mind

How much it costs to leave behind something that made us happy. How difficult it is to change companies or close stages. How harmful it is sometimes to know that we have to participate in a farewell with no return. How much it hurts to part with something you like, something you know you should no longer have, but how difficult it is to say goodbye.

It is necessary, I know, sometimes you have to close stages. You have to change jobs, friendships are lost, the house becomes too small for so many, children take up time, youth greets you from memory… it costs and sometimes it costs a lot, but it is part of the cycle. We close, say goodbye and open and say hello to the new.

We add chapters to the experience, but we need full stops. We need blank pages to continue writing, the same chapter needs an end, it needs a closure, but it will have its continuity, its traces will be on the next page. It will make sense when we know why we closed and why it is necessary to do so. It will make sense when we give it to you.

It is not easy to know how to say goodbye, but it is good to know that sometimes it is necessary to do so, that once we have overcome the grief we will be prepared for whatever comes. Sometimes the pain of what is lost is healthier than the pain of continuing to carry around something that is already left over.

The emptiness that remains after saying goodbye

It’s hard to explain, but I’m sure it’s understandable because we’ve all experienced it to some extent. There are goodbyes that are for the brave, those that leave a void that we will later find difficult to fill or that we will no longer fill. It’s hard to face the unknown, it’s hard to leave our safe zone, it’s hard to finish because it’s hard to know that we have to start.

There remains a void, yes, because the pain of loss is a pain, and covering it up only makes it nourish itself to come out stronger later. You have to learn to say goodbye, you have to learn to tolerate this emptiness, you have to know that it is necessary to close, that it may hurt now, but tomorrow it won’t.

The magic of saying goodbye is rarely seen in the moment we do it, the magic is in everything that comes after, in the whole world of possibilities that opens up to us when starting something new, in everything that awaits us when we heal the wounds. The magic of goodbye is that it usually comes with a subsequent greeting.

If we learn to know how to carry this emptiness, if we do not make it bigger than it should be, if we give it the space it needs, if we allow ourselves to cry if we need to and take time to heal, we will be prepared for what lies ahead. come on. It’s hard to say goodbye, but by doing so we learn to heal and take care of ourselves. Learning to say goodbye is growing.

It is necessary to say goodbye to move forward

We need to say goodbye to continue walking, we need to close stages and open new ones. It is necessary to face goodbyes because we also have to risk the new. The world rarely stops and we are part of that world. Fear, our faithful traveling companion in life, clings to the known for fear of the unknown, but we have the strength to know how to overcome it.

If we look back we will realize how lives change; Not even we, with all that knowledge that we treasure, would have been able to exactly delimit our current location a few minutes, a few hours, a few days, a few months or a few years ago. We have arrived at the place we occupy thanks to our decisions, and among them, thanks to our decisions to say goodbye.

It’s hard to say goodbye, but you have to learn to do it. It’s hard to close stages and visualize what’s new, that hello, that goes hand in hand with goodbye. It’s not easy, but it also comes with something good for sure. It’s hard to say goodbye, but the magic of the new is also something surprising, making many goodbyes worth it.
