Until it’s gone.

Let’s take a reality check. How much do we take for granted in life?

A home, food, clothing, friends, relationships. And it’s somewhat humorous to think of just how easy it is to lose all of those. 

One mistake, and something could be lost. Forever. that’s it. 

Take a second and think about all of these. Chances are, if you’re reading this, you’re privileged enough to have a home, or a computer, a connection to the internet. Perhaps you’re sitting there drinking a coffee, or eating some chips, or cookies. Ok, without coffee and cookies, life could go on as normal. But what about the internet? True, internet isn’t a total necessity. But how would you stay “in the now”?

You’re in a home, or a hotel room. What if something happened to it? It burns down. Where do you go? Was anything lost in the fire?

Photos? Trophies? Movies? Letters? Your clothes?

Who’s your best friend right now? Do you have someone that you can let out everything too? Who wouldn’t judge you no matter what? Think of what would happen, if for some reason you lost that person. 

Think about your significant other (if you have one). Say your relationship is going smoothly, but you start getting feelings that something is wrong. But it’s just you being paranoid. A misreading of the other person’s feelings is all it takes sometimes. I know this, because it’s what happened to me. I lost someone close to me, and i didn’t realize what i had until i lost it. Cherish what you have. You’re lucky to have whatever you do.
