What will you miss?
Written on 4:37 PM by O
I think on the journey to greater things, there is some obvious excitement about what lies ahead. Yet, when I sold my 96' Fender Stratocaster (Electric Guitar) today, I missed it. In fact, I still miss it although I had not played it in nearly 6 years. I purchased an acoustic (which I have wanted for a while) with the money I got from my sale but I haven't quite gotten over my sadness over what was lost to be so excited about my new acquisition. This made me wonder... what will I miss about where I am now when I get to where I want to be?
Despite how much I want my dreams to come true, there are certain aspects of my life right now that I will miss when I move on. I expect the future to get busier and more complicated as it concerns working and relationships but I must say I will miss not having time to sleep in for fear that I might not have enough time to study when I am in Medical School. I will miss not being able to spontaneously take a weekend trip to see good friends...
On the brighter side of things, there will be much to appreciate about a new life. There will be the sense of peace that comes with knowing that I am doing exactly what I was made to do. There will be the satisfaction of seeing so much good come directly from my actions. Indeed, this is something to yearn for, something I must strive for, and with time, I should keep photographs of the old in a box and hold the new in my hand.
What will you miss about times in the past when your dream comes true?
