With this last snippet, it is indeed time to take a huge piece of the past, embrace the present and move on.

Title: Farewell
Life is all about settling down, adapting, and then having to pack your bags and leave, settle down and move on again. I feel like every chapter of my life is akin to reading a well-written book, encrypted with tales of laughter, joy and tears. It starts with a mixed pot of emotions – creeping apprehension, initial excitement, anticipation. You read on and find yourself being absorbed deeper and deeper into the expedition previously unknown. New discoveries transform into humdrum routines, and jigsaw bits start to piece up neatly. Then you flip pages after pages, wanting to find out more, at the same time realizing the more you flip, the faster time flies and the sooner you’ll reach the end. As you savour every bit of the last chapter and finally close the book, you sigh in satisfaction. Contented, yet discontented; bitter yet sweet. You wish there’s more, and you can only hope the next book would be good, too, if not better.
