someone i hadn’t talked to in months said to me recently, “i miss you.” i said back to him, “i miss you, too.”
what i meant to say was, “i miss you, too. but like you miss a headache. or cancer. some things you get used to having around. but that doesn’t mean you should have them around. or that they’re good for you. or that you should get used to them being there. some things you shouldn’t get used to at all. some things you should miss. cause you were killing me. i miss you like cancer.”
i should have said. i guess i should clarify. so as not to confuse.

One should always be drunk. That's all that matters; that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time's horrible burden; one which breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without cease.
But with what? With wine, poetry, or virtue as you choose. But get drunk.
And if, at some time, on steps of a palace, in the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you are waking and the drunkenness has already abated, ask the wind, the wave, the stars, the clock, all that which flees, all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that which sings, all that which speaks, ask them, what time it is; and the wind, the wave, the stars, the birds, and the clock, they will all reply:
"It is time to get drunk!
So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk, get drunk, and never pause for rest! With wine, poetry, or virtue, as you choose!"
Charles Baudelaire




















No you miss something because you deisre it to be near, you enjoy it’s presence.
Something you’re used to that has disappeared is called a change, but not missable.
