My friend Mr. E and I met at work. I am more of an introvert. And since we haven’t had much cooperation at work, we barely talked. He was a colleague to me – someone I actually hardly spoke to.
I can’t recall the moment. I am not sure when and how we started talking. But when we do, it’s all about laughter and jokes. Yes, he is the one who likes to joke around. And this is why I enjoy his company so much.
We used to text quite often, mostly about some crazy things, and then we share a lot of our different values in life. We do talk about our work, sometimes. He is always so willing to share his way of doing things, giving me a whole new perspective.
He told me a few years ago, that he might be leaving this job some day.
“I want to experience a different type of life. That’s quite normal. We can enjoy ourselves through different things, different kinds of jobs. Or what’s the fun?”
Yes, I understand that part. But I am never really ready to say goodbye.
Okay, and now, that day has come. I got his message last night, telling me this would be his last year, actually last few months here at the company.
That’s just too much for me. Because, like I said, I am not ready.
“I am now going to embrace a new lifestyle. I just don’t know what that is yet. But I totally think it’s cool. That’s just life, this is natural. You don’t have to feel bad, not for me, not for this, not for this job.”
Thinking back, if I am honest, there was a period of time that I was pretty emotionally dependent on him. At that time, I knew I needed him.
I like talking to him, because I get to laugh each and every time. I enjoy the relaxed and chill atmosphere. There were some years when I felt really frustrated and helpless. I felt very uncertain and lost. He was the one to drag me out, probably one of the most important ones.
He shared so many positive thoughts, creative (sometimes crazy) ideas and advice with me. He saw my worth when I felt like nobody cared about me. He encouraged me when I lost confidence. He reminded me that I’ve always mattered, and that I always will.
Knowing that my friend is going to leave the job, (or more precisely, leaving me) is very hard. Even though I know that he is so thrilled to embrace the new direction in life.
From another perspective, it somehow feels like a wrap-up for me. As I have learnt and grown so much over the years, I feel like his mission to help me grow has been fulfilled here. Since I am not that emotionally dependent anymore. If I see this from here, I realize that it is actually a cool thing, because I am now “mature” enough to handle things on my own.
Yet I can’t help crying.
Then he replied:
Everybody meets everybody for some sort of reason… They serve a purpose, either you get tired of these people (ending up being bad) or you recognize that there is a purpose, a function of these people.
I cry a lot (which is very normal for me). Not just because I am not ready to say goodbye. It’s more that I know — just like he’s leaving this job — I need to move on, too. For me, it’s more about the emotional part. Since his “mission” is complete, I think the universe is telling me I need to step forward as well. Am I feeling afraid? Yes, totally. Even though I feel uncertain and scared again, I don’t want to see this as a wound. I want to see this as a kind of trophy, a reminder of how much I’ve grown. I will carry this in my heart. And I know I can get through this! I am really looking forward to what’s next.
