"Reblog"

I have been catching up on old shows that I couldn't watch during the school year. Although "Ugly Betty" is honestly a Mexican soap opera, the story is decent, the clothes are fun, and sometimes there is a good quote.
In the show, Betty starts a blog with the sole intention of inspiring one person. I had to steal this piece she wrote on goodbyes. Although I am extremely thankful that I have not had to say a "permanent" goodbye in a long time, short-term goodbyes seem quite constant in my life, so this quote feels right.
I've had to say goodbye more times than I've liked, but everyone can say that. And no matter how many times we do it, even when it's for the greater good, it still stings. And though we'll never forget what we've given up, we owe it to ourselves to keep moving forward. What we can't do is live our lives always afraid of the next goodbye, because chances are they're not going to stop. The trick is to recognize when a goodbye can be a good thing; when it's a chance to start again.

Pause

I swear I will blog soon. In the meantime, enjoy another piece from Goodmorningandgoodnight which pictures a scene from an incredible movie with an incredible song. :]
