why is it in human nature...that we only appreciate the people & things we took for granted only when they're no longer around us? when we have them, we fail to realize their importance. we fail to understand how lucky or blessed we are to have these things. but when push comes to shove, when hurt & pain snowball into a cataclysmic mountain, these people leave...these things are taken away from us.
only then does regret sink in. sometimes, its too late. the chances we were given failed to register in our heads. the friends you stood up or keep thinking that they'll always be around for you suddenly cease to exist in this life anymore. the ones we love, have finally given up.
