I don’t miss people

I find myself feeling like a liar when I reciprocate people saying they miss me, with a loving, “I miss you too.”

I’ve been thinking on it lately, trying to figure out how/why I can feel the “miss you” of my furbabbies/ of past, yet don’t find myself feeling the pull of loss/lack when it comes to people.

I’ve concluded that up until recently I felt somewhat emotionally dependent on the “good vibes” and “UNconditional love” that my animals always provided me, and thus felt the absence of it when they’re gone.. versus the people in my life who (as I have and occasionally still do) struggle with their vibes and offering “UNconditional love” so, I never developed the emotional attachment/depenancy, not even really with my Twin (believe it or not.)

I’ve also concluded that missing people is just a focusing of your mental and emotional attention on the absence/lack of them, rather than focusing those attentions on remembering and feeling their awesomeness, with pointed focusing on the gleeful anticipation of more memories of awesomeness during future engagements.

So, now when people say to me, “I miss you” .. I find myself hearing, “I am choosing to focus on the lack of your presence in my life.”

I think I will just start saying back, “I love you too!”
