reflection x2: progression from now

I think and I hope its okay for me to say that I've really been missing my dad lately.

Yes, I'm still happy with everyone that is here in the present, but there's always that reoccurring part of me that will always miss someone so essential during my early life. Every time I do think that, I can't help but think I'm selfish due to having good people by my side but still wishing he were still here.

At the same time, I know it's still natural or understandable for me and for anyone that has lost someone so close to feel that kind of way.

I've always said how it hurts a different kind of way the longer that someone's gone as to when you first lost them.

With that in mind, I have to ensure that I continuously appreciate the people that I have now, along with being more accepting to certain situations that happen, because one thing that I have learnt is that you only tend to realise how good something or someone is when they're already gone.

I've got the infinitive aim to consistently show the love, care and support that individuals give to me as well as maintaining the close bonds that are evident with every association that I do have.

I'm lucky to have progressed from how the past three years have been as well as from recent events. Moving forward is the key route to choose in my book.

I've always seen any hardship as something to move forward from, and never moving on. That's the difference. Situations will stick and be a part of your history regardless, no matter how hard they have hurt one, we can always look forward to the next step and its okay to never completely heal - because the internal scar will be there. At the same time, that's something for you to learn from and become even more stronger within the journey that you have ahead of you.

My main piece of advice for anyone going through their own reflection time (whatever the topic may be) is to always overlook upon the negative side and focus as much as possible on the good side. It is definitely a lot more beneficial in the sense that life is too short to be looking back.
