The entire day was like that: a powerful awakening of whom and what would truly miss. I became sentimental about saying goodbye to many people I had taken for granted, the regulars who came in to the restaurant where I worked, the ones I never seem to find time to speak with. I had to leave all of my friends and also the classmates I had always intended to get to know someday. most importantly, I would be forced to say farewell to the ones who raised me.
