What Did I Miss?

In an interview, Johnny Rotten, of Sex Pistols fame, discussed contracting meningitis and being in the hospital for a year going in and out of comas. He did not know his parents, where he was, or what was going on.  Portions of his memory starting at age 7 are just gone.  He did recover, but still has a gap in his life.  There was an upside out of the illness.  As he put it, he has a constant yearning to learn.

There are times we forget who we really are on the inside.  Relationships, jobs, and significant events in life, put us in the situation that we just lose sight of us. We all have memories from certain events in our past that would we wish would to disappear.  It is easy to get caught up in the digging for clues or explanations when sometimes the answers are just not there.  That is when acceptance comes into play.  Rather than continuing the cycle of futile digging, stop and move in a new direction.  Focus your yearning on what you might miss by living in the moment rather than what you did miss in the past.
