Today the substantial relationships that I formed have suddenly been disrupted as quickly as they were formed. These friendships that were forged out of necessity and loneliness somehow turned out so perfectly. When you are forced to befriend people you probably would never happen to come across in normal situations, you don't expect to click with anyone. However, if you just look a little closer you are able to find the beauty within everyone, as I have come to find out. It's nice that this was able to happen, although I must admit I don't enjoy the pain of departure. However, I suppose that if I never experienced pain then I might never appreciate love.
Then there are those people that didn't really make a memorable impression. How do you say farewell to someone you hardly know? If you are not adept at this sort of thing you might walk over shake the person's hand and timidly spit out "see you later" then realize how stupid and impersonal it was and turn away quickly before the person is able to see the redness blossoming on your cheeks. Or at least this is the case in my experience.
