"Why is the word ‘good’ in goodbye? I think that the 'good' in 'goodbye' is about signs of love and appreciation of a person in your life. You have to always remember that there would be no 'hello' if there would be no 'goodbye'. The goodbyes are necessary to make the 'hello' possible and to put everything into perspective. I think the more 'goodbyes' you have said, the more you know about life. Because it makes you realise what is really important in your life: to love and be loved. And the beauty is, that one goodbye turns into a thousand 'hellos' to lots of new people. Those people too, will become people who make your life worth living and make your life that bit more exciting, strange and adventurous. And we all need adventurous stories to tell our grandchildren, right? So actually the truth about 'goodbyes', the way I see it, is that they are in fact not sad, they are happy... and in all fairness they are just 'See You Soons' dressed up in a suit. Don't forget that even how expensive a suit, you can always see the clown that wears it underneath. You just need to know how to look at it. So wipe your tears, see the clown and we'll see you soon."
