Goneness: Another psychological rant by Dannoh403

"My mother once told me, to never say goodbye. Because if you don't say goodbye, then you're never really gone. You're just, not here right now."
? -Agent Carolina, Red VS Blue Season 10 finale
So I've been doing a LOT of thinking about the above quote. And I figured it's time to become the old dannoh again, the deep thinker, the advice giver, the crutch. Why? Pssh, I don't know, I felt like trying to be more of my old self. I like my old self, less care free, but a lot more helpful. anyways, so now I shall talk about the quote above, feel free to discuss this in the comments or chat. (Please don't sue me roosterteeth) Oh and uh, RvB spoilers await.
==Let the ranting begin!==
So, lets first attempt to grasp what this quote means. You must understand the actual statement first. The 'mother' in the statement was sort of a main character in the machinima series "Red Vs Blue" (very awesome, I recommend)? 
The mother was implied to be a character named "Allison" who was the possible wife of the creator of PROJECT: FREELANCER. She enlisted in the military and died at some unspoken point. The man, Leonard L. Church but commonly known as simply: The Director , never forgot her. She had a habit of not liking goodbyes, often saying she hated them. They saddened her a great deal. Allison was only seen once, in a clip the Director obsesivvely viewed of her, when she shipped out to the military.? 
The Director attempted to create a copy of Allison, but failed numerous times. These copies were a main character in the series, who shared Allison's personalities. The main copy was known as "Agent Texas" or just "Tex".
So, back to the quote itself. There is a quiet truth to this quote. One people don't commonly think of. Goodbye's are many different things. There are temporary goodbyes, and the ever-depressing infinite goodbyes. So, is it better to say no goodbyes at all? ? An unspoken goodbye can still transfer however, such as a sort of, mutual agreement that the two parties will never see each other again.? 
The idea of goodbyes sadden me a great deal. I hate saying goodbye for long periods of time. There are things that I'm not sure I could say goodbye to. Many people exist in my life that would be impossible to let go without a great deal of depression on my part.? 
There is a difference between not being there and being gone obviously. Not being there right now is a temporary thing, yet it causes a sort of questioning, such as how long will they be gone. Being truly gone is equaly depressing. Knowing with little doubt you won't see them again, it can sadden anyone a great deal.? 
So, here comes the ending. I ask you all, what do you think of goodbyes? What is a goodbye to you?
