a million miles from nowhere, and right next door to your heart. after some discussion on flirting, i've concluded that sometimes flirting is just part of a person's personality. i'm not sure how exactly that works, because i do believe that flirting cannot exist in a vacuum but apparently it's not always flirting. the actions of flirting can just be natural, but it's not necessarily "flirting" until you are expecting a conclusion. anyway, enough of this.



what is missing someone? it's easy to confuse "missing" with "loneliness." if you're sitting at home alone with nothing to do, you think around and miss whoever you most want to see. but that could just be a byproduct of sitting alone at home. i may not miss you, if it's not your particular prescence that i need right now. "missing" someone is when a moment could not be duplicated with anyone else. only billy bob would get this joke or only angelina would understand me. that is missing someone. when it's loneliness, that void can be filled with an alternative. missing crack? heroin is a subsitute. that kind of thing.



when you break up with someone, or have someone out of your life, do you miss them during the loud or quiet times? do you miss them at parties when you're laughing it up and having fun? wishing that they were there? or are you more likely missing them when you're sitting at home engaged in jack. oftentimes, i will miss someone the most when i'm interacting with them. like "why don't we talk more?" but sometimes you can't talk to the people that you want to all the time. or you could, but somehow you can't (weird isn't it?). anyway. when a breakup happens (relationship or otherwise) be sure not to confuse loneliness with missing. you will be lonely, but that will pass. the missing doesn't really go away but that's something you just gotta deal with. remember, your parents walked to school through thundering snowstorms, uphills both ways. suck it up.
