I dont want to get into the habit of writing really vague and obscure things on my blog that the reader has no chance to understand. So I wont do this often.
But because I want to:
Ive been thinking a lot lately about missed opportunity. Something comes along that feels like an "opportunity" but its absolutely the wrong place, wrong time, you name it, to do anything about it. Ive been thinking about missed opportunities, not so much because Ive been unhealthily dwelling on a specific one (although I kind of am), but Im wondering why this human emotion even exists. Why do have to feel like something "should" have been. In fact I am beginning to hate words like "opportunity" and "potential" because they only make me think about what "should" or "could" be, and thinking about those kind of things only puts me in a skewed state of mind. But then again, if I didnt have to think about the "shoulds" and the "coulds" I probably never "would" do anything out of the ordinary. So maybe opportunity is a good thing. But when you miss it, it can be really depressing.
(and thus ends my trilogy of posts for the day)
