It's Always After

You know the saying, "You never really appreciate something once it's gone" ? Well, whoever that person who wrote it was right. You really never do. I mean, you say you do, but when it's gone, you still miss it, don't you? You still regret not having appreciate it more. Like, I dunno, hair? When you have long hair, you hate it, but then when you cut it, you start to miss the rest of your hair. Okay, weird example, but still.

Wait, can you appreciate something when it's there and not miss it when it's gone? I'm not really making sense here :|. Oh hell, I guess it's just a personality or trait or whatever you call it that every human has. We expect that it will last forever, when it won't. Therefore, we don't give it the best of us. We think that it should get us little by little so that there's more for the future. It's like money. You don't use ALL of them. You use some, you save some.

But somehow, someday, you get over it. Maybe you'd think about it once in a while, but you won't cry over it. You won't regret it, like you did when it first went away. You won't miss it as much as you did. Maybe it's just human nature. That's how life goes on, I guess.

Aah, and I got my answer. Ever heard of Hilary Duff's What Dreams Are Made Of? In it, she said, "Have you ever wondered what life is all about? You could search the world and never figure it out."And I've been thinking about that, but I stopped, 'cause apparently I've forgotten xD. Anyway, I guess the answer is, there is no answer. You just have to live life. Make the best of it. You get something, you live with it, you lose it, you move on.

That's what you do every single day. You get to wake up again, you live the day, you lose it at night and back to the start. Maybe some things are irreplaceable, like a loved one. He/she died or whatever. You can't go back to the start. I guess for that, you just have to move on.
