Letting go

Oftentimes it's the most difficult and painful thing to do, and yet it can be easier when we know that we have no other choice. But then before we say goodbye, the need for 'closure' arises, and we seek to get it in any way we can.

Sometimes it's not so much to find out why we have to let go, but more to acknowledge that we have to let go, and say what needs to be said. It's the same way as when we say, "I love you"; we don't say it on the condition that the other person has to say it too.

So just because the other person left without saying goodbye, it doesn't mean we can't step up, be the bigger person, and say our own goodbyes either.
