Goodbyes

Goodbyes take a great deal of courage, but what takes, even more, is the Hello that comes next, to cast your aversions aside despite all you’ve suffered and take a chance on somebody new, to risk it all again because you know human connection is precious and rare, and always worth the risk.

— Beau Taplin

    Trying to work out that picture. Looks like a gentlemen's club or dining room with that row of plush leather dining chairs and another table next to them and an arrangement of photos like a gallery in the alcove. Why is she standing there with a raincoat that implies that she arrived dressed that way?

    It's more like she's the evening's entertainment for people who haven't arrived yet.
The reason I chose this photo is that she has her coat almost on, almost off and she looks(to me)as if she is leaving. Or she could be arriving? She seems nervous, so probably the latter.
So how that for an explanation?

Hopefully, we learn from our mistakes. Sadly, few do.

But she will still have to say her "Hellos" to whomever she meets and possibly for the first time.

Variety is the spice of life, saying goodbye to something is a way of moving on to new and interesting things

Depends on the person you're saying goodbye to and the relationship you had with them.
For me the original post would ring true if it was someone who has passed on.
But with others it may be some you never want to see again anyway, some may be at another time it could have worked, but this time it just wan't right, and some you may have known it was never going to work for a longer period, but it was one hell of a ride while it did.

The most painful goodbye
is when you know you will
never see or speak to them
again.
