The Catcher in the Rye

I was trying to feel some kind of goodbye. I mean, I have left schools and places I did not even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don't care if it's a sad goodbye or a bad goodbye, but when I leave a place I like to know I 'm leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse.
