Goodbye

Today I said goodbye. 

I said goodbye to my home for the past 5 years.

 I said goodbye to my cute little house. 

I said goodbye to some of the best friends I've ever had.

I said goodbye to someone I never wanted to say goodbye to. 

I said goodbye to a season of life. 

It's a strange feeling; simultaneously experiencing

emotions on opposite ends of the spectrum.

To be completely heartbroken in a way I've 

never known, yet captivated by a hope that has 

never stood so strong. 

This dichotomy in my heart is tough to explain.

I don't even know if I understand it myself. 

But I do know that goodbyes are alright 

when you know that they're not forever. 

These past few years have shaped me in

huge ways. 

I cannot wait to see how these goodbyes

shape my tomorrows.
