Missing people isn't just about them; that doesn't make the feeling selfish.
If they hadn't been a significant part of my life, hadn't loved me and been loved then I wouldn't miss them.
Being missed shows us our presence was valued. Being missed helps us realize and believe we matter. We make an impact. We make a difference. We are cared about.
When you leave people's lives by choice or by circumstance, but not because YOU didn't care, missing people is natural.
I have to stop wanting to stop missing the people no longer in my life.
They mattered.
I have to stop wanting to know I am missed.
