I Wish I Knew Then What I Know Now

Misstake

There's probably at least a few things that are always where you expect them to be but you probably don't pay much attention to. They may be significant to you or maybe not, but it's not a question of their significance. It's a question of our attention. When everything stays the same we make the mistake of not noticing them and end up missing out on the happiness that they should be bringing us. Either that or we simply miss the whole point of them being in our lives in the first place. We don't think about how important they are to us until they aren't where we expect to find them. You don't miss them until they're out of place. But by then, both of you are missing. Somethings can be found, somethings can be replaced, there are even somethings that can never be erased. But there are still things, that once they're gone, they're gone and we can only reminisce. You only have one shot with those things. So you better not miss.
This is very true. We mustn't take things (or people) for granted. Your words triggered many memories - thank you.

We also mustn't live lives of regret. We must move on, learn from our mistakes and live as rich a life as we can...

And one of the moist important things we have is our time. We must make good use of it.

There are four things which come not back:

the sped arrow
the past years
the spoken word, and
the neglected opportunity

Old saying.

Though I think one can recover some of the missed consequences, but not always so satisfyingly.
However, our feelings at the time of the omission of the potential for "action, are not the same as those we "enjoy" in retrorespect.
Hence, our mistaken current feelings about what we didn't know back then.

These are usually extremely tough decision because we don't recognize what those things are UNTIL they are gone or out of our reach...I mean seriously is sitting on a couch with your mom when you are 10 and playing and having fun all that NO but when you get older and you remember the time it's everything ...ya feel me
Awesome post and you are very accurate in your words
