Spring is almost here, and graduation season is upon us.

This is also the time of year when working adults are more likely to be transferred or relocated.

Whether you're shy or shy, you want to say goodbye properly to your loved ones on the day of farewell. Here are some tips on why and how to convey your feelings.

It's a shame to just be sad! The day you say "goodbye" can be a new start.

A senior who was kind to you, a good friend, that person you secretly had a crush on... Even though you see them every day, it's sad to see them go.

But it's actually up to you whether you want to make the day of "goodbye" a true farewell. Graduation or changing jobs can often be the catalyst for the start of a new relationship that transcends the boundaries of seniority, or for a deeper relationship to develop.

That's why it's important to make sure to greet people at milestone occasions. It's a chance to express honest feelings that you don't usually have a chance to express.

To avoid regrets, be brave and express your feelings

We live in an age where we can easily connect with each other through social media even when we are far apart.

That's why we tend to miss the opportunity to express our feelings, thinking that we can contact them later if we feel like it.

When you want to sort out your feelings or find the courage to express them, we recommend using the power of music.

Here are some CDs to listen to during graduation season.

Tips for expressing your feelings to someone special

1. Express gratitude simply and directly
When expressing gratitude to someone who has helped you, simple words like "I'm very grateful" or "Thank you very much" have a big impact.

If you can't seem to find a way to express your feelings, try giving a small gift like a sweet with a message like "Thank you" or "Thank you." It's sure to spark a conversation.

2. Cheer on your juniors with positive words

When you are sent off by a club, group, or junior colleague at work and you say goodbye, be careful not to choose negative topics such as "You could do this more..."

Even if you intend it to be final advice, it would be a shame to end up sounding gloomy. Instead, send encouragement with positive words like, "I'm rooting for you!"

3. When seeing someone off, make it a lively event by getting everyone involved.
When you are seeing someone off, even if you feel like giving a personal gift, it is best to first get in touch with those around you and hold a farewell party together or send a message book.

Now that we are stepping into a new world, we are sure that cheers of encouragement will be given to many important people.


4. Make new memories with the person you want to stay close to.

If you want to convey your feelings that you want to continue being friends, it's recommended to give them something memorable, such as a photo you took together or a message card.

And even after you've been apart, don't hesitate to get in touch. Meeting after a long time will make you feel like time has gone back in time, and you can build up those same happy memories.


5. If you want to take a new step, the best time to do so is right before you leave

If you've had a relationship with someone who's mainly been at school or work up until now, but you don't want to leave it there, why not take the plunge and invite them out for coffee or dinner on your way home?

Even if you don't get a positive response, you can avoid any awkwardness by doing so on your way home. If the person is of the opposite sex, you can start with a group. It would be nice to be able to exchange private contact information.

If you're feeling down because you'll soon be separated from your loved one, try honestly expressing your feelings. It might bring you closer together.
