Endings are always good.

You reached where you aimed. For better or for worse, it happened.

You quit jobs, educational programs, and move across the country to reach your goals. You sacrifice for overtime work staring into an iridescent computer screen early into the morning.

Many people mourn the high divorce rate. I see it in a brighter light.

People make hard decisions to better their life. If two married people are unhappy and pretending to stay together “for the kids,” make sure you’re not making their life a living hell.

Leaving gives space to all involved. Time doesn’t heal all wounds, but time to meditate and think deeply may. There’s a stopwatch ticking toward our death as soon as we’re born.

Even if couples don’t reunite, they may find other true love. Around 7.5 billion people live on earth. No one person was created for you (no matter what your significant other says).

True love is scarce, and possibly one of the few perfect feelings on earth. It’s describable by Former Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s description of pornography: “I’ll know it when I see it.”

Others work multiple jobs to make enough money or to pay past-due bills.

You may sacrifice for years, living on beans and rice, driving a beater car, and delivering pizza at night to climb out of debt. That’s the end of constant overdue bills, leaving money to save and invest.

On the other hand, more millennials are choosing to delay major life decisions such as buying a house or moving across the country.

The birth rate is at a 32-year low. More people pursue graduate degrees and lucrative careers to pay off their towering student debt. Others worry about bringing children into a world with uncertain climate change.

I plan to have no children for a long time, but there may come a time in which even that ends.

But for now, I have other goals.
