"goodbyes are just strange" (Envelope #10)

Ingredients:we see every scene, every moment and passage of time, as perishable before it's even time to say goodbye. why are goodbyes so overwhelming? sometimes we find the last words, sometimes we can't seem to use them on cue. sometimes we'll cry instead of speak because it seems easier. there are long sentimental open letters. there are also the gifts of appreciation or tokens of gratitude. somewhere in the far corner of the room, there's the one who makes a silent exit, careful not to spotlight their leave too much.how do we say goodbye? what makes a goodbye weird to initiate? there is something to say about the ending scenes we make for ourselves when a memory, routine or scene hits its shelf life.(Instagram: @wholeheartedly.pod)
