ESL Blogs

I have been missing you... Guys, this sentence thanks to the modern technology might be in the near future vanished out of our life. I realized it a couple of hours ago, was thinking and thinking and decided to dedicate this blog to this issue, sooo here I am with some interesting views. First of all just dont think I'm freaking out, ok? I will show you right here and right now that I mean it.

Don't you think that the world we live in is overtechnologized? It isn't a big deal to buy a new smart phone, a modern laptop and many many other devices. Social media such as Facebook, Twitter etc. play important role in our life and thanks to them we can be 24/7 in touch with people, who we consider our closest ones. On one hand practical and without doubt it makes our life easier, on the other hand something what may change many things in current society and especially in interpersonal relationships. So let me ask one question:

"Do we have a chance to miss anyone?"

(Let me add that I am talking about people who are alive)

Why would we miss people, since it is a matter of one second to send them message. In my opinion to miss somebody has its own magic, it drags us into our past, it somehow forces us to recall memories and at least for a while to appreciate that one missed person. Another quiete an interesting thing I would like to point out is that we tend to overact and make a buzz about issues, which would our ancestors find totally ridiculous. For instance to say: "I haven't seen you online for two hours, was so worried about you, was missing you badly." Is this normal? From this example is obvious that some people just become very dependent on being still in contact with others and it makes them ehm little bit obsessed.

Anyway, now I would like to demonstrate above mentioned to you by these two examples:

1. A letter written 50 years ago by a woman who was missing her husband:

My beloved Jack,

I have waited for your letter for the centruries. Every day when I woke up, opened my eyes, the first thought I dedicated to YOU. I missed you so much and finally after three months I can read the first lines written by you. It is such a realease, one can hardly describe. You might think I am mad but I am so happy to hold the paper in my hands, the paper you were touching with love when you were thinking of me. The moment when I found your letter in the postbox, was one of the happiest of my life. I just wanted desperately to feel your smell from this letter, to read something from you.....

2. A message written yesterday by a woman who was missing her husband:

Hi Jack, what's up there? You dind't reply last night but I can undertand you were tired after the whole day. I miss you a lot. See you later and take care.

Can you feel the difference? Even though to miss beloved person might be painful, on the contrarery when we recall such memories, when we remember how badly we missed somebody, it is just a proof we cared and also something what shows us importance of privileged people in our life.
