Suggestion, reword some of these parts to something along these lines-
“Often there are…”
“Occasionally there are…”
and
“Rarely are there…”

Overall, I will say you had a good seed idea for this quote. I good concept that went into it, no doubt in my mind. The execution, though, is greatly lacking. For example, examining what you have to say, I come up with: We often have to say goodbye; occasionally we want to, but it’s rare that we don’t want to. That last part is the piece that confuses e. It is rare that we don’t want to say goodbye? I am not sure whether you are pessimistic, or perhaps the quote has it’s roots in cynicism (the belief solely in one’s self; check Wikipedia for the greek interpretation), or if you merely typed it up in such a way that it did not accurately portray your thoughts, or what.
The quote simply doesn’t seem fitting to me. Beyond my personal opinion though, structurally speaking, I would change the periods into commas or semi-colons. This way, the quote flows as one piece rather than being “so-and-so-and-so-and-so” with an abrupt STOP. thrice in the middle of the idea. You’re 15, so I sympathize with you putting this quote out there; keep it up. Post more stuff. Stories, quotes, ideas, whatever. Just keep it up, man.

I think you have the words mixed up. You mean to say that “Rare are the times that we do not [want to say goodbye]?” So you are saying that we usually want to say goodbye to somebody that we are close to. Check your meaning again. I also don’t understand the title. I’d like you to explain. :-)

I think your title throws off the reader more than the actual quote. Your title suggests that your main idea is the importance of parting ways and how the more you say goodbye the more you become cold to the sadness, but your actual quote is commenting on the emotions revolving around saying goodbye, not necessarily the effect of saying it often. You need to clarify your title. Leave the actual quote as it is. The quote can stand without a title. It’s too short for a shorter explanation and that’s what titles do.

i have no idea what this means. if we say goodbye often, and we only occasionally want to, and we rarely do not want to are we then indifferent about the other times we have to say goodbye?

I guess that it depends on who we say goodbye to. The inlaws or work couldn’t leave fast enough, but for those lost loved ones never wanted too. Just hit me in a weak spot.

Occasionally and rarely do not add up to often – I guess this quote is lost on me…

It makes sense. The image that this counjures up for me is saying good bye to a lover or a loved one. Obviously someon who has been let down by many people in the past. The fact that you state that its “Rare” when “we do not” ame me feel somewhat lonely. it conjures up images of lonelyness and abandonment. It seems like this is for someone who doesn’t want to get close to people due to the fact that you could get hurt and that notion is supported at the times that “we do not” want to say goodbye.
Overall, I think it is very good quote. Strong notions and evokes a feeling of loneliness, abandonment and isolation.

these are three different incomplete sentences. U should probably use some commas.
