GOOD-BYE I'm sorry but I am going to stop writing... this is me saying goodbye...

Hi, guys! Welcome to my blog! If this is your first time reading my blog post, I owe you one Benz. And to my old subscribers, eyin omo iya mi.. At this point, we should have a name for ourselves. Something sleek I can call you, what do you think? Let me know in the comment section.😂

I wrote this masterpiece sometime last year. Before I talk about me stop writing, I'd like you to answer this question. What does goodbye mean to you? Growing up, even till now, I love spending time with my male friends. Spending time with these guys is endless laughter, with bants left and right while we tell tales of our lives. All of us gathered together while sharing truths and bitter experiences, and of course, the good moments. We don't see each other every time but when we do, it doesn't feel like we haven't seen each other for long. And after enjoying each other's company, goodbye just seems harder than quantitative reasoning. I mean saying the word "goodbye." I just find it hard to say. Goodbye seems to be a very sensitive word. Or trigger word so to say. I really haven't lost someone close to me, so don't think it's because I lost a loved one. Shout out to my ex relationship though.

But really, if I'm about to leave the company of my friend(s), you'd hear me say something like "later na," "oya na," with a departing guy man handshake… ...because as a guy, why will you tell me "bye-bye!" Or "good-bye." It feels weird to me.😂💔 And I'm very sure I'm not the only one on this table.

Playing Too Good At Goodbyes by Sam Smith

That's why I wrote that piece then. Goodbye is such a word that carries depth. I wonder what made the Englishman come up with such a word. Lol. Maybe goodbye or saying the word feels like I would no longer see the person who never forgets to make me laugh. Or it's the end of having someone close to me, whether friendship or relationship. Maybe if I say it, I might just lose the person or something. Perhaps, it's the thought that my time with such person(s) is limited. Or the pain that I may not be with them again. So, don't blame me if I don't tell you goodbye. Or, I leave you without saying goodbye. I'm not a softie (I be hard guy, please) but I'm not too good at goodbyes.

So tell me, what does goodbye mean to you? Is it just a word? Is it a word you just say because you are leaving? Or you would rather tell them "see you later" because you can't bring yourself to say goodbye (even though you may or may not see them again). This might probably be my last writing to you. ...so this is me dropping what might be my last piece for you here. I'm sorry… ... but I'm going to stop writing on this site. This is me saying goodbye on this wix site... ...But hey! I may not be good at saying goodbyes but I am not going to leave like that. I've decided to take my writings closer to you. I'm moving to Substack so I can send my writings directly to your email. And I'll be needing your support. It's been a wonderful ride sharing my thoughts, experiences, feelings and perspectives with you. I really love doing this and I don't want to stop. I'll drop the link to subscribe to my newsletter on Substack. Or expect it in your mailbox. I hope you're ready to do this with me because it's going to be a long way. A rollercoaster of a ride. Perhaps, some goodbyes have happy beginnings innit. #2023InnaBit #HappyNewYearInAdvance P.S: I'm still deciding if I should move to Substack or Mail Chimp.
