Saying Goodbye.

After 500+ day adventure. My university life is coming to an end. Even though I am not moving out of my grande abode for at least 2 more months other people have different priorities (mine would be stay here and pretend I am still a student forever) therefore I had to say goodbye to one of my housemates not 10 minutes ago.

Though she is returning next year I sadly am not an even though we will obviously see each other it is still the end of an era of us living together.

It's an odd experience saying goodbye to someone you have lived with for over 2 years. Granted I lived with my parents for 18 years and saying goodbye was perhaps the easiest thing ever (I practically ran out the door), but saying goodbye to a housemate was a different experience because it's a different relationship then with parents. I spent nearly every waking moment with the aforementioned person, shared everything so it's not just saying goodbye to a person you care alot for and love. It's saying goodbye to a part of yourself that you will never get back.

I'm finding it hard to analyse the emotions it makes me feel. Sadness being the obvious main factor, but knowing I have made a connection and a bond with someone that will last the rest of my life is a great feeling so it's a very bittersweet conclusion.

In the end I'm just attempting to remember the thousands upon thousands of good times we have had and I like the feeling that when I'm old and grey I can look back and smile.

If I don't get amnesia.
