I really hate goodbyes. I do. I've heard this line so many times, it's cliche. But really, how are goodbyes ever easy?
What had trigger this melancholic depressive state?
I sit by my table looking at my magazines. My magazines with my name and my teeny bopper wishy washy beauty views in it. [If anyone hasn't a flea care about my work, I would wholely recommend you to to stuff it where the sun don't shine for the next ten years. I'll like to see you strive in this industry and tell me it's a piece of cake (go on ... try... i dare you). I don't see you writing for an international teen bible for an audience of 60,000. Read again: We are a teen bible! And if you can't appreciate it, too damn bad.]
Right now, I'm in the most hateful earth shattering temper, I am in no mood to be tolerant.
Damn to attachment but God only knows how I loved this magazine. I worked so hard for it in so many ways I don't understand why myself.
How can you say goodbye to something you've spent countless hours on?
How can you say goodbye to something that has grown an arm and a leg in your heart?
How can you say goodbye to something that you've died and re-lived for every minute?
And how can you say goodbye to a team of people you've grown to love and admire?
I start by packing up my emotional baggage. Put it away nicely. And give it a good handshake.
I have to believe that Life doesn't end at leaving. It moves on enriched and enlightened with shitloads of gratitude and respect.

December 1st dearie. I'll still be around, just not with seventeen, that's all. *snif
Emotional attachment to a magazine? I have a cure. Just think of it as a recyclable resource. We've all experienced an episode in our lives when we are at the dumper and realize all of a sudden that we've ran out of TP and the only resource available at hand is the mags me take to the throne.
Every time there are goodbyes in my life, there is always an associated dinner before hand. I dont like being invited to dinners because at the end of the meal, there's always that embarassing moment where people fight over who's going to pay.
