Hey readers, Welcome to our final Tuesday's Takeaways post of the semester! Appropriately, our Top Quotes fit the theme of goodbyes.
"You are what makes me real And as much as We need to say Goodbye I just Can’t Yet" -Diana Harman, Goodbye My Lonely "Our lives equally go by so fast And yet I’ll never be able to reach you again. So Here lies my unspoken goodbye To you." -Alyna Valderrama, Final Words "I chased after him But he had already said goodbye I clung to him But he was already leaving" -Tess Stofko, Coy or Koi "Consider this a goodbye. My last words to you. The final chapter in our journey together." -Tonsor Mal, Be Patient "My heart is shattered and I think of you; What I wouldn’t give to see you one last time. There was no chance to say goodbye." -Sara Ahisar, A Chance To Say Goodbye "And when we say goodbye your taste lingers, on our lips in our noses and stains the lines of our hands" -Joshua Avin, My Dad and Modest Mouse "Looking into each other’s eyes for the last time beneath the train tracks lies every I love you ever uttered" -Jerry Salem, A Not So Swift Love Story "So now I’m saying goodbye. I’m finishing the novel of you and turning your final pages. Onto a new book, a new genre. Back on the shelf, with the rest of the tales as old as time. But this book, your story— maybe I’d even call it our story, was a good one." -Emily Shrem, Goodbye For Now "Excuse me, it is time to say your final goodbyes." -Gina Rivieccio, The Invasion And now...
'Goodbye' stems from the phrase 'god be with ye' contracted to 'godbwye' and eventually transformed into 'goodbye'. Takeaway Tuesdays will return at the beginning of the Fall 2019 semester! Enjoy the break! <3 -Mic and Gina

"Body exhausted, eyes burning, mind overwhelmed with thoughts My body resists the urge to sleep It doesn’t want to see you again" - Riana Kolari, Insomniac 3. "the crippling thought of making an error courses through my mind constantly [...] I’ve caused a problem somehow this fault was started because of me it’s always because of me" - brie rose, i’m sorry 4. "[the heart] was beating and beating and beating until suddenly everything else was drowned out it felt like i was inside" -Lia Hauser, Another Tell-Tale Story 5. "To watch a mess unfold Beyond the brain [...] When they whispered “suppression is not healthy” You tuned them out, believing with all of your shaking being That all that was being suppressed had to be worse" -Natalie Mosseri, Suppression Some things to remind yourself: Disclaimer: this works for some people, not all.

Your mental health is more important." -Gabrielle Kaplun, How to Feel Beautiful 101 'Stop immersing yourself in darkness Stop using it as a shield Push yourself to believe all your pain will be healed" - Latife Lita, D.F.S. And this is okay as well: "You never really become okay, You just find ways to make the pain temporarily go away" -Janikaa Jackson, Healing Isn’t Real But there are always small things that bring relief: "Not only has writing been a catharsis, it’s helped me raise awareness for mental health and mental illness." - Kathleen Conlon, BE PATIENT, PATIENT And now...
