What is something you miss?

Is there something from your past that you used to be very invested in and no longer do? Maybe a sport, hobby, carrier, lifestyle etc? Why do you no longer do it and what did it add to your life?

The long talks with my daddy either as we were going to my softball tournament, or doing pitching practice, or sitting in a deer blind or on the bank fishing. He had an answer for everything and could always make me feel it was always ok.

Sounds like a very special man@TexChik

@lovelychicadee To me he was everything. My adoptive father. He was a retired marine officer and he and mom gave me someone to love.

I grew up cheerleading. It was such hard work, dedication and fun. For 8 years it was my life. So many close friends, seeing every day and working together. I love what it taught me but sometimes I really miss that community and what it gave to my life.

I think I had out of body experience only for 7 seconds when I was 12.
Nobody taught me but I was aware of that my name doesn't represent me and I was thinking about real me and suddenly I was up somewhere dark floating, it scared me so I came back right away.
Now as a grownup I tried it few times, never worked...
After that I am really interested in spirituality and soul journey in life itself.

@SW-User but it was really scared at that time. I’m trying to learn about this more these days. 😃

@skybubble20 Human mind is fascinating and all powerful isn’t it 👍

Taking photos with a camera and getting them developed. It was really good fun trying to get a decent shot. Mostly silly ones.

And they all went into photo albums that we still laugh at now.

Those albums will be passed on as heirlooms in a way that the 'click, look, forget' pictures won't.
lovelychicadee · 41-45, F
You are so right. Never knowing what shot was captured! Did you ever explore developing your own film?@Thodsis
Thodsis · 51-55, M
@lovelychicadee I had a great school teacher when I was the age of ten. He created a dark room at school in a cupboard and showed us how to develop photos.

I wish I'd developed more of an interest

I used to watch films a lot. They helped me to escape. After some of my repressed memories surfaced and I tackled them head-on, I didn't need that kind of escape any longer, so I hardly ever watch them any more.
akindheart · 61-69, F
that is a good question. My hometown. I only go back every 5 years
huskyguy89 · 31-35, M
For me..it's playing my guitar. I played it most of my senior year. And til like..I wanna say 2014-15 area. Not long ago, I can still pick it up and play it. But I just don't have the same goals with her I once did.
lovelychicadee · 41-45, F
I played the piano for many years. I can understand what you mean about not currently playing. Maybe you can add in small amounts of time and play, thats what I am hoping to do@huskyguy89
huskyguy89 · 31-35, M
@lovelychicadee that takes a lot of talent. What made you stop? And yeah maybe I could. Maybe it'll help heal me some. I hope you can do the same, if that is your intent.

It's only been a short while but I had to give up drinking. I used to look forward to blotting out the boredom of everyday life but the doc said I had better quit or else! You know what? Boredom ain't so bad after all.
lovelychicadee · 41-45, F
Sounds like a wise decision. Lots of positives can come from boredom!@SW-User

Well, I built plastic models… as a kid… I still do on occasion, but frankly I don’t have the time as an adult
calicuz · 51-55, M
@SW-User

Yup, I used to build model cars, that was a lot of fun as a teenager.
There was a certain game series I used to like but I just grew out of it. And I hate that. I have so many good memories from that time.
elafina · 36-40, F
Sometimes I miss my mountain cycling days... Active, fun, tough, adventurous... but I don't miss the accidents so...
AlchemyFox · 36-40, F
Drums. I just haven’t had time in a few years now to play. Ive given up a lot of my passions.
SarithBorn · 18-21, M
Many things, i think back on them often when alone with my thoughts. 😇
calicuz · 51-55, M
Yes, my cigar hobby, I need to get back into it. I enjoyed it very much.
Wiseacre · F
I miss my youth when I had energy to burn.😢
Lumberjack70 · 56-60, M
I miss playing cards with my brothers and parents on those cold, dark evenings in the winter. We’d listen to music, eat, drink and laugh so much. It was a very simple pleasure to just be with family those days.
Wiseacre · F
Are they still alive?@Lumberjack70
lovelychicadee · 41-45, F
sounds very memorable.I am sure you create lots of those memories for your family now@Lumberjack70
Lumberjack70 · 56-60, M
@Wiseacre my patents are gone now.

Road trips
I want to do more of them
lovelychicadee · 41-45, F
You should :)@SW-User
rockstar · 31-35, M
I used to play polo, and really love it. University life distracted me from keeping at it. Eventually my family sold the ranch following my grad-dad’s passing, and I totally lost touch with the sport thereafter.
lovelychicadee · 41-45, F
Sounds like you have many memories from it. @rockstar

I used to study languages when I was travelling a lot. I haven’t done much language study in years. I miss it.

Cinnamon potatoes with the toy in the middle.
lovelychicadee · 41-45, F
what are those?@AndysAttic
AndysAttic · 56-60, M
@lovelychicadee It was a sugary snack in the UK (probably illegal now), it was a nougat potato shaped sweet with covered in brown cinnamon. The good thing was it always had a toy (like a cowboy or something) in the centre.
lovelychicadee · 41-45, F
ohh sounds maybe like a choking hazard by todays standards?@AndysAttic
