Someday, you will miss me.

Someone once told me that they don't miss people. And I thought, interesting, I don't miss people that much either. All I have to do is write about them and then I'll be able to let them go because I'll still have this little piece of their existence and I can feel thankful that I at least got the chance to have them be a part of my life

Maybe they do miss people but don't know how to admit it to them-self or don't want to

[tastyradish]

That's most definitely it. Or I hope so at least. I just kind of want them to admit it.

That's interesting. I miss people all the time. I like the particular ways that particular people are. Life fills in the missing gaps, of course, but I tend to have a nostalgic streak.

I have nostalgic streaks as well and miss people or places sometimes, but I can look back and appreciate that it happened without being sad or anything that it's over.

I can count on one hand the amount of people I've truly missed to the point where I felt their absence immensely. I cut off a friendship with my childhood best friend that I had known for years, and while I think about the great times we had, I don't miss the girl. I cut her off without blinking and eyelash. So its weird...

I know what you mean. After my first year of university I deleted a LOT of people off my facebook including people that I was once good friends and it didn't really phase me. We had all made new friends and I didn't think we'd ever see or talk to each other again so I didn't see the need of keeping them on facebook.

My mom always said it's better to have a handful of honest and true friends or people in your life than a bunch of people that you can't count on or just don't have as big of an impact on you.

[tastyradish]

That's exactly how I feel. I've had a few groups of friends that I was really close to at one point but after we drifted apart I looked back on it and realized we actually weren't as close as I had once though. I haven't lose hope though that one day I'll meet a friend that I can trust and depend on wholeheartedly.

Someone said that to you? Jeez.

In thinking about it, I don't miss anyone that isn't part of my life terribly because there's a reason it's like that between us. It can change depending on how busy or lonely I am, but I just don't care in most cases.

I agree with the notion that quality > quantity when it comes to relationships.

[tastyradish]

I don't think they meant it 100% though. I've said myself that I don't miss people but I know that I do miss people sometimes. I'm very good at letting things go and moving on but I still appreciate the impact that the person had on my life. But I agree, when things fall apart there's a reason for it and I think that's important to remember whenever you feel sad about it.
