Blog Elul: End

I have forever said that I am terrible at endings. Havdallah makes me emotional, I hate closing activities with a vengeance, and I dread New Year's Eve. These moments, they just feel so final, so limiting despite the fact that some things do have to end. I had to say good-bye to three sets of campers and my fellow counselors. Summer has to end so that fall can start and my dorm room can remain a bearable temperature(Also, yay New England fall!). I had to say good-bye to those at home when I left for college. But with each ending, comes a new beginning. New experiences teach us about ourselves, and most of all, they show us how much people can truly mean.   While I truly despise saying good-bye to those who I love, I know that they live with me in my soul. What's that line from Wicked again. Oh right "because I knew you, I have been changed for good." And it's never truly good-bye. It's always just see you later.
