A woman needs a man Like a fish needs a bicycle When you're tryin' to throw your arms...

...around the world.

Good Afternoon.

I haven't been on my computer much, lately, after writing my last blog. I've been reading, cleaning, sleeping and going out and about. I've also gotten a kitten, so he takes up some of my time. :)

I always find it interesting how we don't realize how much something means to us until it is gone. If we can't comprehend the importance of something until it is too late, though, then how do we fully appreciate it? If we don't know how we truly feel, then how are we able to express our honest emotions? Because once it's gone, and we notice the immensity that it impacted us, it's hard to know what to do next because one cannot alter the past. (Even if you're in the Time Traveler's Wife, which I saw Tuesday night)

Whether it be losses such as a favourite piece of jewelry, or childhood toy, or notebook. Or only one sock, so that you never know where the mate has gone. Or losses such as the death of someone you knew, a break-up, or realizing your childhood is over, with the responsibilities you have, or no longer having a job, or just not having enough time to pursue a hobby you once loved. Regardless of what it is you no longer possess, we always seem to be screwed over by not realizing how much influence or happiness these things bring us, especially if we've fallen into taking things for granted.

So, one should find a way to appreciate everything they have in their lives to its full potential. Nothing has a comparable pang of mingled uncontent emotions than missing something and not being able to resolve it. Even if you don't know to what extent something is important to you, because you haven't had the unfortunate experience of losing it, at least try and realize that it does give you a positive feeling and not to forget about it. Once it's gone, it's unlikely you'll ever get it back.

Live in the moments. Indulge in Life's simple pleasures. Find the things that make you happy. And don't let them go.

"Words that had meaning float through my mind; the feelings from those times are unrelenting, but with effort I force them away, and now they are like the stale pretzels that I consume: for they are neither pleasing nor off putting, and I continue to indulge in them, even when they bring me no pleasure." -L.E.Missen
