Amla Mehta I Miss the Days....
I am a deep and divergent thinker. Because I live with partial vision, I frequently reflect upon myself especially while enduring vast change. That said, more times than not, I have no other choice but to take self-inventory upon myself primarily because I don't have any other visual distractions. I see from the heart which enables me to live in the present moment. Please note, I am not living in the past by sharing what I miss. But rather, I am taking stock of where I came from and how I can evolve and better myself. I would encourage you to read my list and let me know what resonates with you. Feel free to contact me with your questions or comments. Thank you! 1. I miss the days when you could hug people spontaneously. 2. I miss the days when the fun time of being a kid consisted of playing outside during the summer months until 8 or 9 p.m. and your mom had to yell out your name as she tried to sort out where you were or which neighbors' house you were at. 3. I miss the days when I had my driver's license. 4. I miss the days there was no Covid-19. 5. I miss the days when more people would take time out of their day and actually "want" to spend time with you. 6. I miss the days where people made me feel understood and fully accepted. 7. I miss the days where there was no texting and more sincere communication. 8. I miss the days when there was no internet and pure joy meant diving into reading a good book. 9. I miss the days when I felt alive going out to see my favorite movie at the theatre as a kid. My favorites were The Goonies and Back to the Future. 10. I miss the days when I spoke my truth without having to worry about the consequences. 11. I miss the days where telling the truth was more exemplified and honored, and considered a virtue. 12. I miss the days where I could cross the street and not have to look side-to-side even while using my cane, Sophia. And for that matter, I miss the days where I didn't need my cane at all, simply because I had better vision. 13. I miss the days of chivalry when a man would call you and actually ask you out on a date. 14. I miss the days of hand-holding with somebody I deeply care about. 15. I miss the days when there were more trees out in nature, rather than having them all cut down to build a consumer’s paradise of malls and houses. 16. I miss the days when we mailed handwritten letters to each other and our loved ones. 17. I miss the days of being surprised about who was calling you when you answered the phone. 18. I miss the days where being nice stemmed from the heart and not with any other ulterior motives. 19. I miss the days when I felt appreciated by people based on their actions not their words. 20. But the one thing I will never miss or forget is the person I am today: a woman of integrity, grace and self-respect.
