The other day at work I was having a conversation with a friend about how there are certain things that we miss. Feelings that we will never have memories of, but that we will never experience again. Not that other situations or experiences are not as good as the previous, but there are just certain things that you miss. Maybe you can name a few. Here are some of mine.
Christmas morning as a child. Walking down the stairs in the morning to what seemed like an overwhelming amount of presents around the Christmas tree for everyone. There is nothing that will ever be like that. I suppose that one day having a child and seeing that look of amazement in their eyes will be as close to that as I will ever get again.
Playing sports for school. There is nothing like trying out for a basketball team with 80 guys trying out and being one of 11 making the team. There is nothing like the bond of 11 guys who work together and who would never all choose to hang out together, but are now like family. Wins, losses, practice, and parties with those guys for a few months every year taught me lessons that nothing else could have done quite the same.
Racing the bus driver. In middle school those of us at our bus stop would walk to the previous bus stop and wait for the bus to get there. Once it put the red flashing lights on we would take off and sprint back to our bus stop hoping to make it before the bus did. I think back and realize the driver probably would have never left us and probably thought we were stupid kids for doing this. It was only a block away between stops, but the adrenaline rush it was just about every morning for 3 years was incredible. Nothing can ever match that.
Anyways, there are moments in life that are significant, semi-important, or very ridiculous that happen and we will never experience anything like them again. I am pretty happy with the memories that I am making these days, it is just entertaining to look back and think about things that were a big part of my life that are totally unique in their own way.
