Loss.

As human beings we tend to make mistakes time after time. It is the way we learn. Sometimes even though you know the things you are doing are wrong, your brain can’t seem to connect  with your heart. You do what you know feels good, not caring whether the outcome of your actions will have devastating repercussions. As humans we tend to act with selfishness. It is human nature to destroy the things we touch. It may not be an intention, it may not even be obvious to oneself what we do, but the fact is we do it. Now, damage can be done in many ways. It can be directly, it can be indirectly. But the outcome is always the same.

Losing something or someone based on the actions of ones self is always heartbreaking. It is then when one realizes what one has done. It is then when the brain connects with the heart. It is also when you realize what  you couldn’t see you were doing. Loss hurts, but it is not unavoidable. We grow up knowing that for the rest of our lives we will lose many things. And when you lose it, it is then you make the loss out to be a great importance. But why don’t we always make it a great importance before we lose it? Why must we feel comfortable with what we have to not give what we have any significance until it is not longer present. Why must we as human beings take for granted  what we have in our lives knowing they are only temporary?

Value is placed on the people or things we had and now have lost. Its value increases once it’s no longer a part of us. Why?

I feel like I lost a piece of me, and it is of great value. So I sit here and grieve for something I knew I was losing, something I knew I took for granted, something I know I will  never get back.
