solid fuel soft landing retro rocket (4)

when i was a young lad at summer camp, i used to get pretty homesick. i dont think i could name anything/anyone in particular that i missed, i just missed home.

usually i think missing people is kind of a downer, but lately i've embraced it. i like its obviousness. i like that the immediate sensation isn't necessarily pleasurable, but still satisfying beyond that instant. i like how it pulls in the past but still looks forward. i like the anticipatio. i like missing people.

can't say i empathize with you.

i've never missed anybody
i've never cried
i don't have emotions.

i'm just a regular man's man.

p.s. don't touch nothin... sit in the car

I like missing people too. Its better than indifference, even when its a painful sort of missing. It reminds me of the goodness in the world.

on a mor serious note

i like missing people like i like torturing myself. especially when you'll probably never see them again or not nearly to the same degree.
