Week 20

Once, there were three sisters who altered my entire existence. They were Hello, Stay, and Goodbye.

Hello, the eldest, was the hardest to talk to. Every time I would try to call her, my stomach would churn and my hands will be all sweaty. She had always been the most beautiful that I had been afraid to call on her. Now I regret the times I refused to call out to her out of my fear of disappointment. One day I had the courage to say her name, and that's when I first saw her smiled. "Finally," I remember her saying. Meeting her was one of the greatest adventures I had - she introduced me to a bunch of things I never knew. Hello was also the reason behind me meeting Stay.

Stay was undoubtedly my favorite of the three. She was sweet, and happy and adventurous. I often thought she was the youngest of the three because of her disposition. As much as I've enjoyed - no, loved - her company, she was fleeting and it hurt me sometimes. At one point I couldn't bear any longer hanging out with her that I left and bumped into their youngest sister.

Goodbye bore a mysterious charisma. Her hair and eyes were as black as night and they gave her a beauty so frightening. She was aloof and taciturn most of the time, but every time she spoke, the world would stop. And weep. She had the saddest stories among the three, but they were stories everyone knew.

They were three very different people but they come as one. Together they roam the earth and continue to touch lives. Sometimes people rejoice for it, sometimes they shed a tear or two. Nonetheless, they touch everyone.
