Have you ever cried over a goodbye?

Oh those goodbyes

Yeah. I had a situation like that a while back with childhood friends. I returned to an old friend's house after dropping off the face of the Earth during the pandemic. There wasn't any weirdness between us; we'd just sort of fallen out of touch. He was living his life, I was living mine, and we have become such different people that we didn't have anything in common anymore. I'm not even sure that we particularly missed each other because neither of us really made any effort.

I just randomly decided to stop by his place one day. I caught up with the various family members who happened to be present. I might have been there for like an hour, hour and a half. Everyone was doing well... they were all still living in the same house as a family. People were happy. A few new relationships had started. Same cast of characters. Everyone was still watching their favorite genre of Netflix shows. Everything was different, but the same. I realized that I have nothing in common with those people anymore.

I turned to leave, and said "I'll see you around..." I was happy that things were good for them. Sad that there wasn't a place for me anymore... content, that that season of life had passed. I was tearing up as I drove away.
