Cheryl Strayed Author, Memoirist
Goodbye

"We love and care for oodles of people, but only a few of them, if they died, would make us believe we could not continue to live.

It would be painful, but how quickly you would decide: You and you and you and you, get in. The rest of you, goodbye."

"I don't like saying goodbye to people. I find it much easier to forgive people than to say goodbye to them, I always have, in any facet of my life. It's hard sometimes to forgive people, but I find it harder to say goodbye if you love them."
