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!!
