10 Things You Need to Say Goodbye to
Hope Speak

We all start off by trying these new things or meeting these people. In the end you believe they will stick you forever so all you say is hello! There’s no such thing as goodbye in most cases but there are somethings you need to say goodbye to. Here are ten things I can think of that you need to say goodbye to.

Toxic People

Yes we have heard these two words in the same sentence before. It is very important to see that these people do NOT belong in your life, at all, whatsoever. You need to open your eyes and instead of saying hello you need to say goodbye.

Food (Not all of it)

There are most foods you need to stay away from because that food is not good for you. It’s the reason the phrase, “I need to go on a diet,” was invented. Yes you can revisit from time to time that one food you truly enjoy, but for now you need to say goodbye to it.

The Word Perfect

If you remember my article about this word then you know why we need to say goodbye to this word. Yes, I say we, I sometimes still use it too. Nothing in this world perfect and we have to start accepting that as reality.

The Word Normal

If you don’t remember the article I wrote about this word then you really have to say goodbye to it. No one is this word anymore since all the social norms we know now are slowly disappearing. It’s something no one is realizing until you look really closely at the world today.

Some Social Media Apps

Some apps are better than other. Ones lasted a few months while others lasted for only a few years. Like MySpace, those few month apps really need to go. No one has time for those apps anymore.

Some Phone Numbers

People come and people go and sometimes you have those numbers saved for the next time you need it. Yes I understand a restaruant but when are you going to need a number from a school you never been to or even thought of going to?

Some Friendships

Friends do come and go which I have learned the hard way. Once they find a new person or group to hangout with they stop talking to you or just not acknowledge your existance period. That’s when the friends need to go.

Several Family Members

Yes they do say family is forever, but in reality, some family members don’t even want to be part of your family. Those are the ones that don’t come to any events or don’t call anyone for anything. These are family members you remove from your life right away.

Your Childhood

The world is changing. Everything is changing. The television shows and movies you watch are changing. The younger generation is saying these newer shows are childhood. Yes the memories are forever, but say goodbye to seeing them on TV!

Your Old Self

You don’t stay you forever. You adapt to newer backgrounds and newer faces and they help develop this new coherent sense of self. You change everyday of the week whether you know it or not so say goodbye to your day one past self.

If you do not say goodbye to these ten things, or at least one of them, your past is going to linger on forever and you won’t be comfortable with it at all. So once you have a chance to realize there are somethings you need to let go of, it will be that time to say goodbye.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
