I will live alone with only a faithful pooch for company. Because at least with that, I know I won't have to say goodbye to a person which, though I've said far too many in my life, is always hard. I know that when my pooch dies it'll be harder than if I lose someone, but I won't let it get to me anymore.
With the goodbyes I've said, I've avoided people. I've isolated myself. This was my last move to a new home with my folks, but I can't help but feel that I'll be moving again. So I've continued to avoid getting close to people.
This is why I want to live alone. I'm afraid of more unwanted goodbyes.
