Saying Goodbye

(I wrote this in mid-January when I was back in Boston and didn't post it... so here it is now.)

Those of you who know me probably know that there are few things that I hate more than real goodbyes. I put off goodbyes, always trying to look forward to the next time. However, I've reached a point where I can't quite get away with that. Realistically speaking, the goodbyes that I am saying are going to last for at least a few months at the very least. And, it's always the hardest when you have to say goodbye to close friends who have meant so much to you for a while. (And who will hopefully continue to be really dear friends.) But going away means that it's that much harder to maintain those relationships. The most important ingredient of good friendships aside from really caring is, I think, time. So to all my friends, thanks for just being yourselves, for taking the time to laugh, and think, and talk. I'll try to text, call, or email whenever I can. Please do the same! Lots of love. :)
