You never know what you got till it's gone
Probably the best and truest statement in the history of sentences. I mean I just decided to read this because it has had a big impact on my life and I saw someone say oh i can’t to move outta here or something
<p> Look I know everyone can’t wait to move when they grow up but are you really ready to leave, not only your family, your house, and your friends but leave your city? Back when I dormed in Baltimore at Loyola University in Maryland I never realized how much I missed and loved New York. It is a completely different world out there not just state to state but from city to city. </p>
People in Baltimore didnt understand some stuff I said, they weren’t as active or live as I were because we were used to two different socities. New York on a slow day has some kids on the streets the parks wherever; but there is always someone outside. In Baltimore it was like a ghost town unless you were in the city on a Friday or saturday night. There on I went back home to visit my family and I never really appreciated NYC till that day in october of last year.
Another big reason was I WAS NOT HAPPY at LUofM. It was awful I hated the kids I hated my roommates, I hated my professors. Like no one understood me and I was just living a big lie with a smile. Yea it was nice they gave me a $36000 scholarship for me to go there and my parents forced me to go even though I didn’t want to, but I hated everything about that place. I played basketball and baseball there and they had a great gym but the classes were just awful and my roommates fucking blazed every night and the library was 3 miles away so I could never study. I mean I missed my true friends, webcamming wasn’t the same, I missed my parents, I missed my bro and I took most of it for-granted.
When I came back that faithful day to NYC that night I spent all day in the city and back to Queens. All my friends hugged me like I won the World Series I never seen Bayside more vivd and exubrant ever because I was practically being tourted at this college. (there are obviously more reasons but you know)
So i finally got home told my parents I’m leaving the school and cried like a baby. I mean I cried for about an hour it was horrible I was holding back 2 months of tears and told them flat out I missed everything and I wasn’t happy. That was probably one of the best things I did in my life and I never look back on it now.
Now what does this have to do with you don’t know what you have till it is gone? Well here it showed the example that if you are ready to leave from where you lived from X>17 years than fine. But most people experience this when they lose their most favorite thing or a gameboy game they always played. Think about when someone leaves your life or something that you took forgranted when you had it. When you think about how happy it made you…you become sad and angry now im not saying dont ever leave or throw anything out. But people always say they miss something ONLY because they have not done it in a while and always have the chance. But if you don’t have the chance again to do it or there was someone in your life you realized they are finally gone then you start to realize how much of luxury it was to have it.
