“I don’t believe in goodbyes.

I don’t believe that the connections we have to people and things are temporary. That somewhere along the way they cease to exist, cease to carry meaning, cease to be something real. 

Because no matter the time, the distance, the loss in our life, they will forever carry weight. 

A goodbye implies that there is an end. And in human connections, in love, in life, there is no end. 

Just a transference to something else—new love, new connections, new relationships, a rebirth.”
