Hellos and Goodbyes

It all starts with hello.

Then we choose one or a few to walk through life with for a while.

A while turns into days.

Days turn into months.

Months turn into years.

Years turn into a lifetime.

And then it all ends with a goodbye.

Human life is so special because it is filled with so many hellos and goodbyes.

The way we greet each other with love and the way we give each other a farewell with a touch of sadness.

It’s a beautiful recurrent nature that connects us all.

There may be days where you wish goodbyes were only temporary and that we could live multiple life times.

To dream about living multiple lifetimes and to evolve.

What would one’s life mean if it didn’t end?

Some might see immortality as a curse because it means never experiencing the natural cycle of life and all its profound interactions.

Would hellos and goodbyes have the same meaning to immortals?

Others might view immortality as a gift, as it allows for endless opportunities to learn, grow, and make a lasting impact on the world.

It’s all about perspective, I suppose!
