Bud,
I enjoyed reading this post very much. Like Alana said, you’ve summed up the plethora of emotions I feel and helped me cope with them. I hope you continue to write, and I hope you visit Shanghai in the future!

Hey man, this is great! I have been struggling now that my time has come to move to Tennessee for college. Saying goodbye is really hard but your post helped me. Hope all is well there and I hope to see you soon Bud

Bud, you surprised me a lot with these posts, but less and less as you wrote more and more. You’ve grown into quite the philosophical individual, and you’re right about all this. I think it’s very good you’ve addressed what we’re all feeling, or what will have felt or will feel. Saying goodbye happens a lot, but you’re right that every hello is worth it.

Hi Bud, I’m sorry to hear about your departure with your girlfriend, and at the same time believe that it will open up new pathways for yourself. It’s amazing that you can keep such a level head in such a situation, and the maturity at your age. Congratulations on your graduation and for sure we’ll be by your side as you continue your journey of life into university

Ah, saying goodbye. I too have had a recent “goodbye” to my boyfriend because of distance and going our separate ways. It’s anything but easy…

I like your steps and the last one has helped me the most in knowing that when one door closes another one opens. Especially in our case as we’re still young and have much change and growth to go through. Thanks for sharing and being honest, great post!

Good bye & Sorry are 2 hardest words in real life. The hardest thing is never get the chance to say ‘good bye’ to those we care about. So we should always treasure the moments we have now, and the people around us. Certainly, no matter what/who that we bid farewell to, there’s bound to be another door open. It’s the faith and belief that got us going everyday. Wish everyone best in life.
