| Goodbyes are never easy...

Well today was my last day of work at Benedetto Guitars. I am moving back to New York, and planning on going back to college. I'm really excited about the change, and happy with my decision... but such a big change is always weird.
Leaving people is always the hardest part about leaving any place or job. Especially working in such a small shop, making such nice guitars... I mean I spent just about every day in a shop with this group of guys. They become a new family. And today I had to say goodbye to every one of them. It was especially hard to say bye to my best bud, and my manager (mentor).
I've been here for a year... which is just long enough to get to know everyone really well and establish great friendships. And now I'm moving on.
Like I said I'm happy with my decision... but times like this feel so weird. My head is just kind of up in the air and I don't really know what I'm thinking. I will do my best to stay in touch, but I hardly ever do. It's weird... even with people who I really genuinely want to stay in touch with, I just don't. It's like once I finish one "chapter" of my life I just completely cut it off and move on.
I guess there wasn't really a much of a point to this... I'm just a bit sad, and it's nice to type it out. The whole thing amazes me I guess... how we make such deep connections with people then often times have to end our relationship with that person... it's all a part of life though... and I think times like this teach us things that we couldn't learn any other way. The kind of lessons we might not even realize we've learned.
