At five o'clock I am collecting the rest of my things from Michael’s house and cutting all ties. At the end of summer it was a comfort I held onto, in a way. If I ever missed him or wanted to hear his voice I could simply call and use having my things there as a reason to come over. I could pick up one or two items and leave the rest. It was some kind of security, if you will, and a very unhealthy one to hold onto at that.
But I’m finally ready now. I do not want there to be any reason at all for either of us to have to speak to, or see each other ever again.
I’m giving him two weeks to come collect his things but am rather confident he hasn’t missed them and has never planned on coming to get them. I have a feeling this is going to be the end of it.
I’ve been sick twice, have had the shakes all day and cannot seem to focus on anything. I don’t know if it’s having to see him that’s doing it, or the realization that the time in my life he existed in is finally ending. Either way, through the anxiety and discomfort, my nerves going crazy and my heart wanting to sink,
today is a good day.

Saying Goodbye was my third short film. It was developed for a course I took my sophomore year, called Basic Video Production. The short film is about a young man coping with the death of his fiancé. The moral of the film is having the strength to carry on, and being able to get up and move forward. The film was to show how it can be hard moving forward in all different kinds of situations. The film holds something we all as humans have to deal with, saying goodbye. Now The message of the film goes beyond just the death of a loved one. It's expanding on multiple situations and different obstacles we all come across within our lives. Whether it's big or small, It's about coping. I also wanted the audience to take something from the film, I wanted them to make their own interpretation. I wanted them to decided what the film was about. So there are a great deal of meanings behind this film that I as the writer, director and cinematographer may have not seen.
This was my overall third short film. It took around a week or two to develop and it took a great deal of hard work and dedication it. We came across a large line of issues, but managed to pull out what you see here today.
