good-bye:

Saying good-bye to one’s job is a trivial thing, though there are exceptions of course. If you are mature and i.e. professionally experienced enough, you must have changed many jobs till you found something that more or less suited you.

There are people who even say good-bye to happiness. Of course, if any person was asked a question: ‘Would you ever refuse from happiness if it suddenly arrived and knocked on your door?’, the answer would invariably be ‘NEVER’. So does it mean that people have reasons to say good-bye to their happiness? So much for the power of good bye, or maybe it’s another hardship, a trick, a choice making which will make us stronger in time?

Saying good-bye is a piece of cake when you leave something that is transient in your life. However, saying good-bye is always difficult when you (have to) just drop something you got used to, something you love being occupied with or something that gives you positive emotions.

We say good-bye to so many things and people, that we don’t realize the strength of this farewell ‘magic’ word and the power it often possesses over us.

Good-Bye to Youth

Saying good-bye to youth is an absolutely natural thing because, as we know, time scarcely stands still and mercilessly devours our young years. Time contributes not only to the accumulation of intelligence or just wisdom in our life, it also draws wrinkles on our faces which are at first scarcely noticeable but then start acquiring deeper and deeper shapes.

Some people survive the process of aging and eventually getting old with dignity – they get used to their mirror image which is no longer youthful (thy are perfectly aware of the fact it will never become as it has been) i.e. these people say good-bye to their youth in a calm manner, with no fuss or despair.

However, there are people (both men and women are implied) whose good-bye to youth is just too painful. They do their bestest to put aside the time of the farewell and refuse to see their youth off thinking that if they don't see it off they won't have to say good-bye to it.

As a rule people who have difficulties saying good-bye to their youth go for plastic surgery and other artificial tricks which modern medicine and technology offers to well-off people whose irresistible desire is to put aside saying good-bye to their young years, faces and bodies.
