Introduction:
People always say “Every Ending has a New Beginning”, and to open a new door you must close
an old one which can be heartbreaking and scary but it is necessary for you to change and grow and
someday you’ll see the reason why there’s good in goodbye and you’ll realize it’s time to start something
new and trust the magic of beginnings.
