Goodbyes

As part of going to uni there are a lot of goodbyes I have to say. Over the past few days I've said goodbye to my friends, boyfriend and church for a while. Of course, these people won't just leave my life, its more of a see you later than a goodbye but it'll be the longest time I've not seen some of these people in years. Its been very emotional and hard. I know that goodbyes are a necessary part of life and you have to hurt sometimes because you have amazing people in your life but it doesn't stop it from hurting. I'm okay with that though, I know its coming and although I thought that might make it easier it really doesn't. I've already written on my other blog about how goodbyes are sometimes needed and I stand by that.

There's not really much more to say on the subject of goodbyes, I kind of just wanted to document this part of the journey. On the plus side, seeing other people going off to uni makes me more excited to go. For a long time I was dreading it a lot more than I was looking forward to it but now I'm more excited to go and get started. I'm excited to start studying what I want to at last and to start becoming more independent. I think I was focusing too much on the goodbyes and not the new opportunities. While its still scary I now know that I can survive through the goodbyes and be okay the next day.
