See you later?

Just recently, I have come to notice myself saying, "See you later," to friends and people I meet. I have also found it a problem for myself when I say that without thinking.

Maybe I'm being picky here, but does anybody really mean it when they say, "See you later"?

Most of the time, I don't even see the person 'later', but whenever we meet again.

I think, for this month, I will work on my goodbyes. So, instead of "see you later", I'm going to put a specific time frame to it and work at catching up with the person at the said time.

A "see you tomorrow" or "see you next Sunday" won't take too much of an effort, I'm sure.
