"別れは甘くも悲しい。"
— William Shakespeare
Simplified Meaning:
Saying goodbye to someone you care about can make you feel two opposite emotions at the same time. On one hand, it is sad because you are leaving them and will miss their presence. On the other hand, it is sweet because you look forward to the next time you will see them again. Think about a child going to sleepaway camp; they feel sad leaving their parents but are also excited to tell them about the new friends and fun activities when they return. If you keep in mind that goodbyes are not forever, it can make those moments easier to handle. This way, your sadness is balanced by the anticipation and joy of reuniting in the future.
