It's important to say goodbye. There are different ways of doing that. I think that there really has in fact been just one single time that my goodbye has been a proper one: both of us knew how necessary it was, I guess. Both of us were desiring that goodbye for a while then. So we did the only completely sincere and honest thing, unlike our other interactions.
All my other goodbyes end up in explosions. I burn all the bridges and break all contact, then a few days later realize, that, hey, maybe I was too harsh. But one can never go back.
And I never see why people are so stuck up about it. I mean, they hurt me, I hurt them back- we're even.
