Don't do Houdini, please.

Abracadabra! *Poof*

I stumbled upon Meg Magazine’s, August 2007 issue about people leaving without a word, sans a trace. It was titled, “Vanishing Acts.”
Why do people leave?

I was moved by the article, (too bad I can’t find the archive from meggurl.com. ) Anyway, nobody wanted to be left suspended in the air. Since nobody wanted the feeling of being left, ergo don’t leave someone dear to you. Hah! Don’t go? This sounded too pathetic. Better yet, if the urgency of going away is needed, at least say something, don’t leave without even saying why you’re leaving.

Anyhow, for objectivity’s sake, the feature article voiced out the sentiments of the party that left. Individuals that went the other way, according to the essay, were also hurt by the act of leaving. Yeah right, (this may sound sarcastic, but actually not). I understood them perfectly.

Both parties got hurt, however since nothing breaks even, the pain occurred more on the one who was left behind.

But why do we whine about this issue, knowing that nothing is permanent, and everything changes? Still despite the awareness, we forgot. People, most especially the female population, tend to cling too much.

Bottom line: girls, don’t hover. And for the magicians out there, don’t do Houdini, please.
