That was good. You think they... So the topic... Okay, so the topic, never can say goodbye. Yes Yes. We are gonna be talking about saying goodbye to things. Relationships, friendships, churches, jobs. Sometimes yourself. Hello. Not permanently. No alcohol control delete. No factory data reset. I tell you, old self. Hello, hello. Hello, all things become new. Hello.

Mm-hmm.

And now we're definitely gonna be talking about that

because if there is a certain point where you do have to say goodbye, correct. So with that being said near, ha ha ha ha ha. Let me stop. I don't wanna make the episode hard to watch. Ha ha ha ha ha. Don't upset me in the comments.

Right, so let's add a clarification.

We're talking about relationships and people and all of that. I, oh, this will last up a story. Right. And no point when we be talking about our friendship at all. So let's just make that very clear. Other people. Other people. Right. Also, one more thing. You know, no, I'll say that for another time. Don't worry about it. But ultimately, today we are going to be talking about when to let go and sometimes there's never a right time to say goodbye. I mean, there is, but there isn't. There is, huh? Gotta fight, figure it out. Hello. But you know what, figuring out when to leave something can be incredibly difficult, especially if you're somebody who's mindful of the things that somebody else is going through Mm-hmm Because there have been times where I wanted to say things But I'm like, oh, but this is happening and this is happening and that's happening and something is always happening always So just let another thing happen And it and it sounds like very harsh or very like you know, uh, no, it's the truth What truth. What's one more thing? This is true. It reminds me when my therapist was like, I told her something and she was like, what are they going to work every day? I said, fair. No, that you mentioned it. They are still going to work. So I guess I could go and head his conversation. Maybe I, now if they weren't going to work, No I guess I could, you know, go on and head his conversation. They be I. Now if they weren't going to work,

then you can get your butt up and go to work. We could sit down to talk. You'd be all right. Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah. Ain't no worse than going through something while you at work. Like on the clock, it's like, I'm trying to cry right now. But now I got my manager asked me to get back out on the floor.

I'm bawling.

Yeah.

Because like there's a grief to saying goodbye.

That's not just because there's a grief to saying goodbye to people in this life. That's why we grieve people, you know, who have passed, but there is a grief to saying goodbye to anything. Yeah. And I learned that in this last few years, the grief of saying goodbye to the life I thought I was gonna have. Hmm, hmm, hmm, you know.

And right there.

I couldn't fully embrace the path that got me on. The path that he chose for me ultimately, because it's like, no, it wasn't supposed to be this way. Yeah. And I had to really let that go in order to experience the joy of this season because I kept thinking about what I thought it should have been. Yeah. So letting go of what you think things are supposed to be, that's a good buy you have to have

to. about what I thought it should have been. So letting go of what you think things are supposed to be, that's a good buy you have to have too. And when you really think about how you wanted certain things to go and now that you look back and they didn't go that way, thank you Lord. And what is not necessarily talked about like the grief of saying goodbye to something, but also being in the bliss of something new. Because you can actually still be grieving the very thing that you left, but also having a great time. Because I mean, you leaving the classroom like there was a grief in that. Yeah, there was. Because it was something that you knew and you love the kids. You love the kids. YouE-L-A-K. You loved a kid. Also, I gotta go.

And now you're in a job that you like.

You know what I mean?

I say you didn't like T-G.

Making more money is good. Hello. Especially this economy. But now, like, I mean, you did enjoy going to work then and you enjoy going to work even more now because it's something that you want to do as you're evolving and growing.
