Bittersweet Goodbyes.

I had been anticipating this for a long time. I had pictured how rosy it'll all be like. More than being rosy, I'd say liberating. But the moment he said, "Tuesday would be the last!", my heart skipped a beat.


With countable number of days left in my current project, it's time for the bittersweet goodbyes.
