E: Missing you
In these days of goodbyes, the verb miss is mentioned more frequently than normal.To miss comes from the Old English word missan and is defined by the Merriam-Webster online dictionary as “to discover the absence of”. My definition is “being sad for something by which you are not surrounded”.
I'm not the most "physically emotional" guy. What I mean by that is that I have a lot of feelings, which I can express, but I do not necessarily have everything visible or noticeable in the open/above the surface. I'm attached to a fair bit of people, whom I strongly care for and love.
On the whole my life is really good. I have been fortunate with my whereabouts, experiences, places I visited and people I've met. When I am not around the people closest to me, there are normally other incidents or individuals that can make my day and reassure me of the fact that I have a great time.
By dictionary definition I miss people all the time, around the clock. I’m highly aware of a lot of people that are absent from my presence. In my definition of missing though, if I can avoid missing someone, I'm glad. Often I can. I try always to focus on what I have here and now and not on what I do not have at present. Especially when I know I will meet people again, I'm just glad we have relations and that the absence is only temporarily for various reasons. Worrying or longing for a no-can't-have does not bring me joy. And regardless of how awesome I could think it would be to meet up with them, I am not sad.
Generally.
This is how I feel and does not make my close ones decrease in value to me (becoming anything but priceless that is).
