[my music: From Where You Are ~ Lifehouse]
So over the course of this semester thus far, I have realized and come to embrace the multifaceted nature of everything in this life. From the minuscule to the immense, everything has more than one side from which people may view it. Which is why, as explained in my previous posts, that I believe my views and beliefs to be realistic while others see them as the bitter rantings of an unromantic atheist. Actually, the more that I read up on various belief systems, the more I tend to believe the pagan beliefs than anything else. But that's a whole other post!
Anyway, the point of this post is in the realization I came to the other day I was writing a message to the guy that's very dear to me, but very far. The concept of missing a person is often regarded as such a negative thing. It's a state of deprivation. A state of unhappiness with the absence of another. But that day I realized that I don't feel deprived or unhappy. I feel content in the idea that I have someone to miss. So many people at this age are searching for that someone to mean something, and I have it. It doesn't matter that he's in another country, it doesn't matter that I have to go months without him. I'm so happy with the idea of missing him because it lets me know that I have someone that I care about. And the fact that he misses me, lets me know that my feelings and emotions are not in vain.
Essentially, I would much rather care and feel this slight twinge of pain, than never have known what it feels like to care about him at all.
