What do you miss?


Recommended Posts

I miss the days when doctors actually examined an injury. Now they send you to places where machines scan you. The doctor receives a report from the technicians that state whether things are within acceptable tolerances. Acceptable for who? That data is nothing more than statistical information based on a group of collected data from a set number of people. What they forget is what may be acceptable for one person isn't for another. I am constantly searching for a physician who actually handles MY needs. Reading a tech's report is NOT the same as looking at the actual scan for yourself.

I miss when my life was easy. When things weren't so fucked up beyond repair. I miss having a partner who would stand with me no matter what. Those days are gone. I'm done with that. I am going to take care of myself, fuck everybody else, I have too many of my own problems to deal with.

Starting next week I'm moving off the grid. Well, not completely, but out of the grid where I'm at. Starting anew, all old connections severed. My soul needs this.

I just miss the days when I hadn't a worry but where I was going to party next. I tried to grow up so fast, I forgot to enjoy the time I had, when responsibility was trivial.

I realize not to miss things anymore...the past is gone..living in the now, and remaining mindful is the only way to stay sane.

....that's what I would like to believe, however, I know it is not true and is just a defense mechanism...so, with that being said...I miss things in life, of course but I won't cling to my past any longer if I do I will not grow and move forward and reach my maximum potential in life.

That's a good attitude to take. That's how I make it through each day. Mornings suck the most because I have to, every morning, try to forget about the past and remind myself to keep focused on the future. Every. Single. Morning.

I miss when mornings didn't suck.

I miss being employed, and the days when I was younger and all my mental conditions weren't costing me my jobs. I also miss the days when it was easier to maintain stable employment and when being unemployment didn't seem like endless despair, like it does now.

My perception of things has definitely narrowed as I have gotten older, and certainly not for the better.

I miss the days when neighborhoods were more like a close knit family. When everybody actually knew each other and even the winos had your back. Those were the days. They weren't perfect, but at least you knew where you stood and how to survive. When one truly got by with a little help from your friends. I miss those days. :)

I miss being able to feel genuinely excited about everything. When I was younger, I got so used to disappointment that I finally gave up on getting excited over things and trained myself not to feel that way. Now I wish I could find a way to wake that feeling up again. I miss the crazy energy that being truly excited about something brings...

...but at this point, at least I'm always emotionally prepared in the face of disappointment :hrhr:

I recommend reading The Myth of Male Power by Warren Farrell. One of the things the epidemic of male suicide can be attributed to is unemployment, and the popular idea that men have to be "success objects" to be human beings. Its important to never forget that humanity's present concepts of gender are still primal with little differences between our primate past.

    • Well, it's over.   Last year I was finally happy that people on the block had started talking to me and I even started conversing with them and helping with their yards despite my people fear.  But it wasn't to last.   Midday today, I got blasted with the accusation that I called the police on my neighbor's vehicles that were parked across the street in a lot he had told me that he owned (which is the only reason I was cutting that lot for him).  Nevermind the fact that the City sent out an ordinance stating that vehicles parked on the grass will be towed at the owner's expense.   Today, I requested that he move a trailer bed with a car on it that belonged to him, but had been blocking my driveway apron next to my house for the past nearly 3 weeks.  He began talking about it being a public street and that he didn't see a driveway and how it was a vacant lot and some other stuff.  I side that I owned the lot, but didn't have the money to put in a driveway yet and that if I don't put one in soon, the city is going to come and take my driveway apron away.  He began walking away, quoting parking ordinances and then said that because I had asked him to move his vehicle that I must have been the one who called the police on his parked cars because he side the police kept coming back to check if the vehicles were there (on City property).   At first I thought he was joking and I said that I didn't know anything about that I just wanted him to move the trailer back 10 feet.  He didn't like what I had to say and went on a tirade about stuff that I had no clue about, but apparently I did it because I live on the block, across the street, multiple houses down from the vacant lot he was parking in that belonged to the City of Detroit.   Trene stepped in to defuse the situation because I lost my mind.  All the decades of accusations from all the other neighbors (past and present) that had been directed at me simply for being on the block, just exploded and I was out there making a total spectacle of myself trying to clear my name.  But all that does is make an accuser feel more justified in their blind truth.  I left it alone.   My feelings are hurt.  I don't care about any of those people anymore because it's like they are just sitting and waiting to blame me for something else that they don't like that happened to them.   My trust for anyone on this block is now gone and I am physically drained and embarrassed.  My mind keeps replaying the entire event and will continue to do so for the next few hours or so...because that's how my brain works.   I'll try not to let this consume me because I could be THAT person they accuse me of being, but then that would backfire because they would be like, "I KNEW IT!!!". 😔

    • There are worse things to be known as.  Anyway... "In addition to my other numerous acquaintances, I have one more intimate confidant.  My depression is the most faithful mistress I have known~no wonder, then, that I return the love." ~ Soren Kierkegaard
    • They have meds for that :P   Honestly I need to try me some of that Adderall one of these days.  I'm a bit scared to though because I might actually do something.
    • I know a Japanese-American girl.  I do not know if she actually speaks it or not though.  She's dating my friend Kurtis. Though I imagine you could go out to eat at a Japanese place and just strike up a conversation with people and see if anything sticks. Anyway...  I miss my car :(  You lose a lot of agency without one, and soon it will be too cold to bike.
