The last walk through an old room can matter even after the decision to leave is settled.

Deciding is not the same as parting. A choice can be made in an afternoon while the attachment underneath it takes longer, and it usually asks for a moment of its own: standing in the empty room, letting the years in it be real before you close the door. Skipping that does not save time; it moves the feeling somewhere less convenient.

Give yourself the last walk through a place that is ending, without hurrying. Say goodbye out loud if that helps, or take one photograph, or simply stand there a while. That is not indecision; it is the part of leaving that lets the leaving finish.
