We're in the home stretch now, the end is inching ever closer now, and soon all of this will be behind us. With just a few days left to go, until the end of the year and until the end of this project, it's time for me to start saying goodbye to things that will not be carried forward into what's coming ahead. Time to say goodbye to parts of me, time to say goodbye to places I'll never return to, and yes, time to say goodbye to some people. That'll be the hardest bit, because for the most part, those will be conversations that will be happening inside my heart only. There might or might not be one happening in person, and there might or might not be one happening that will come as a surprise. But it makes no difference, the decision's been made. The next few days, the few remaining days ahead, they won't be easy. Nothing worthwhile ever is, I imagine. There's something I have to do that I do not relish, though I know the exact words that will come from me. I deem it a necessary sacrifice, and I pray with all my heart that my action brings only peace, and no pain. There are sights I need to see, and places I need to be, because I'll not be seeing them ever again. There, in the quiet places of the night, in the deepest recesses of my soul, I will turn inward, and say the names of the places, and whisper the name of the one I love, and say my goodbyes. There, in secret to all but to my soul, the journey begins. Soon, my love. It won't be very long now.
