Things that are gone from my life forever that I miss without wanting them back.
Having a baby.
The ability to have another baby.
The first flush of new love.
Doing the school run.
Having colleagues.
My dog at my feet as I walk on the beach.
Things that are gone from my life forever that I definitely miss.
My toddler’s arms around my neck.
Smooth, firm skin on my thighs.
High heels.
20-20 vision.
Things that are gone from my life that I am hoping will return one day.
Listening to live music, a bit drunk, a certain amount of wild abandon.
Things I never had.
The ability to be the girl with flowers in her hair that dances to folk music.
Things I don’t miss.
Eating animals.
Mind swirl.
This makes me want to cry. It’s sad. It makes me feel sad.
Yeah it’s a bit sad.
*hugs* I agree with what melcat76 says. How do you feel giving names to your ghosts?
Keeps them in line. Takes the sting out of them.
Amen! You gotta name and shame your demons and pain so no one can hurt your with it. Sigh. You do my messages… You live my gospel. Lol
I love that you have honoured things that are gone but acknowledged that this doesn’t necessarily equate to wanting them back (however futile that may have been in any case). How liberating that concept is.
Christine – so simple but still profound. Thanks for sharing!
Makes me think of some of the things that I miss. It’s a sad subject, but sometimes a necessary one.
Part of getting older sadly. I guess it was prompted by my boy going to Europe and phoning me from Amsterdam while he was stoned. He was having a great time. Sigh. Youth.
When in Amsterdam…
What a great post, I should do this and let go of all the things I don’t want and work on the things I do want. I also miss my 20/20 vision, although I have been thinking of the getting the lasik eye surgery.

Thank you dear liliana. I really thought I would have good vision til I died 😏
I never was that girl with flowers in her hair either, but I think she’s the best. Love this post and I may copy this concept if I can wrap my head around it some time.
Yes I so wish I could be her. I love that this inspired you xx
I agree with Janet Mary Cobb… so simple but still profound! Great post!
Thank you 🙏
Things I don’t miss.
Mind swirl.
Yes indeed, isn’t it amazing, sometimes we look back and realise we had mind swirl, even though at the time we might not have thought so. The question is, what about right now?
I think the swirl goes down on paper in my morning pages. It’s simply flushed out 😉 like the waste it is.
