Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.

In order to understand the phase in life that I have found difficult to say goodbye to, I need to explain what saying goodbye means first. Some people look at goodbye as the end or final. But for the purpose of understanding my thought process, goodbye means for now and because I must do something different. So it’s not the end but a temporary pause, a redirection, or a choice. And just because you say goodbye doesn’t mean you can’t say hello and welcome it back in.

Now that you understand goodbye I will explain to you the phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.  This phase in life was when I lost myself as I was trying to be somebody else or make others happy. So the goodbye was to that version of myself. I let go of making others happy and started focusing on making myself happy. I gave in to who I really was and became confident in that woman. For me it was difficult saying goodbye because I was afraid that I wouldn’t ever have that empowering and amazing feeling that came with that transition. And I strive to be the best version of myself so the way to do that is to say goodbye again in the future to another part of myself or welcome back a part of me that I realized I liked but previously said goodbye to …. ultimately this will lead to making me more … Me!
