Bidding Farewell

Posted by Campbell at Sunday, June 24, 2007

How do we go about shedding a part of you that's been present for more than half of your life? Something that's brought on joy, memories, euphoria, while at the same time causing repeated harm? Whether it be a lover, another relationship, a depenency or something else that's gripped you for years, how do you say goodbye?

This morning I rose from bed and realized that it's time. It's been an ally and an enemy. It's been a calming stabilizer and a destructive force. I can't guarantee that this goodbye will be permanent, but the effort will be there. That dear old song and dance has been ever-present for too long. It'll be a new place without it. Hopefully a better place.
