do you miss it?

in my experience you dont miss what you dont have. this can go for anything and everything else; money, girls, company, friends, education... the list is probably limitless. the reasoning? because why would you miss what you've never had? sure, you can be jealous of what other people have, maybe even have a longing for the perfect girl, a want for a night out and not worrying about watching every penny or a group of friends that will stay in touch forever just like inn the tv shows but life is different for everyone and your life wont revolve like a tv show or like your friends' and i dont think you should expect it to but as long as your asking yourself about these things that you dont have you also have to think 'do i really miss them?'

there is a possible loophole to this whole thing however, you could have had the group of friends, the cash, or whatever it is that you missed and then lost it. then theres the possibility of missing it or gaining something you've always wanted and taking advantage of something you've always wanted when you get it that you ruin having this new thing or you make yourself someone your not.

the best way to deal with this is to think about who you were before these things you longed for came into your life and if thats a person you liked dont let new encounters change you in a big way. experiences change people without a doubt, each one moulds you into the person you are and will be likely to change you or your perspective on life somehow but if you dont let it too much you'll still be the same person that others saw you as before.
