Have you ever thought what we are saying and feeling when we “miss” someone? It’s a fascinating emotion. You realize that the absence of an individual’s presence causes feelings of...what? Sadness? Longing? Nostalgia? There are likely dozens of right answers to this, but regardless the end emotion is you’d prefer that person still be around.

There are levels to this feeling as well. You miss your Mom different than you miss a friend. Both of those are different than how you miss a lover or how you miss an online friend. Yet all of those “missing you” emotions are legitimate feelings that say something. What they say is up for interpretation and discovery by you or me or whomever is feeling it.

Hmm as I think about it the “missing you” feeling also has a good component to it. There is some sense of care that is charging those emotions. You don’t “miss” the person you dislike. You miss those you enjoy, care for or more. When situations determine that you will have to just keep missing them it’s good to just enjoy what was for what it was. No need to slow down your life. Move forward and realize that you only miss that person because they were a good person for your life. Appreciate them.

Ok that’s the end of my random thought. Thanks for reading!!

I think the word “miss” is very apt because it’s as if with just your thoughts, you just happened to missed seeing them, or the frangrance they wear, or hearing their laugh like they were just there. It’s a beautiful thought and reminder that life is never still and is always moving, progressing, changing.

@Big_a_20 Very appropriate description of “missing”. Thank you. That was beautiful to read.
 
I'm not sure I entirely agree to the "because they are a good person"-part. People are weird, and in general resistant to change, even if change would benefit them. That is why often people stay too long in abusive relationships. They idealize the abusive partner and stay, because it's something they know, and "at least it is familiar". That is why people who grew up in a bad family situation are also more likely to continue the pattern. It feels familiar. They (think they) know how to cope with it. Even if it is destructive to the person they could be, and the happiness they could find. And once they do break a bad relationship, they can still miss parts of it.
