Say Hello, Wave Goodbye

Today will mark the close of an approximately two week period on a collision course that took me completely by surprise over the holidays. It makes me teary-eyed now because goodbyes are always hard for me. I hate watching people leave for better pastures and feeling so stagnant myself. Which by the way, is not even true about myself, but sometimes I am pretty good at convincing myself that I am not progressing forward.

Ok, so, maybe what I really hate is watching opportunities walk away. Kissing goodbye chances that could make or break the total happiness factor I'm always aiming for.
Am I talking in enough riddles for you yet?
I've probably overthought this entire thing now because I feel so glum. When it comes down to it, I know nothing of what's to come or what is for the best or worst.
In the past little while I've enjoyed myself a lot, had some good laughs and talks, and discovered some unexpected things about myself and even about other people around me.
Mostly I've realized that I seem to always forget or neglect balancing all aspects of my life. I feel so driven to succeed in my career and will do almost anything it takes to get where I want to go, but in turn, what am I sacrificing along the way?
I'm always leaving for somewhere, always saying hellos and goodbyes. I like the choices I've made so far and I have no regrets now. But ultimately, is this drive going to bite me in the ass one day?
