Leaving is a difficult act; no matter how many times one has to leave someone or something, it never seems to get any easier for me. It's even worse when you know there's going to be no return. Physical departure from the familiar is hard to undergo, but I don't think that's the difficult part. Much of the leaving, the most painful part of leaving, is mental; it's hard to close a door, to board a flight, but it's almost impossible to forget.
What makes it so that people foolishly believe that things won't change? That time won't pass by just because they don't consider that it will? So much pain is self-inflicted...and yet, it seems to be strangely necessary. In never leaving, one can never start again; in never wishing, one would never had wanted to begin with. The pain of end is a necessary evil, for it provides possibility of happy beginning. The trouble is getting from door to door.
