no matter how many times you have to say goodbye to someone, even if it's for the greater good, it still stings.. though we'll never forget what we're giving up, we owe it to ourselves to keep moving forward.. what we can't do is live our lives always afraid of the next goodbye.. because chances are they're never gonna stop.. the trick is to recognize when a goodbye is a good thing.. the chance to start again..

"people think a soulmate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. but a true soulmate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your attention so you can change your life. a true soulmate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. but to live with a soulmate forever? nah. soulmates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you.. then they leave." - eat, pray, love

"sometimes, there are things in our life that aren't meant to stay. sometimes, change may not be what we want. sometimes, change is exactly what we need. and sometimes, saying goodbye is the hardest thing you think you'll ever have to do, but sometimes, saying hello again is the thing that breaks you down and makes you more vunerable than you ever thought possible. sometimes, change is too much to bear. but most of the time, change is the only thing saving your life."
