June Challenge: Day 12: What do I miss?

Day 12, Wednesday: What do I miss? (a person, a thing, a place, a time of my life...)

Who do I miss? 
I miss the people who are important to me when they aren't around. Right now that means I'm missing my fix of Tink because she is in New York with Leigh and even though I don't see her every day when she is at home she is always there. I also missed my mum when I was in Cardiff, because she is my closest friend in the world. 
I miss Emma too because I've not seen her for a few days and I want to give her a hug, especially because right now every second with her counts. And I miss Toni because although we speak literally every few hours even when I'm at work it's really not the same as being in Glasgow telling stories. 

What do I miss? 
I collect possessions, I mean you might even call me a hoarder and you should see the piles and boxes of memories that I have. Tickets, gifts, tokens to remind me of events. However very few items actually mean that much to me and whilst I'd be sad to lose them as long as I had a few key things - most notably my mini rabbit cuddly - I would be just fine. I'd rather not be hung up on missing possessions, it's the people, experiences and memories that count. 

Where do I miss? 
I always miss Cardiff because it's the place I now feel safest and happiest, it's my place to run to when times are tough. Actually the same can be said for Wales in general. I also always miss Devon and Cornwall because they are the part of the world I've always felt at home and like I belong. I haven't been there for a while and I'm having withdrawal symptoms. 

What time of my life do I miss? 
I want to say being a tiny child with my imaginary horse at the bottom of my garden because life was simple then. I also want to say being 21, which was when my work career really took off but without the pressures and responsibilities of now. However in truth I don't regret the past and I fully believe you should live in the moment and look forward so whilst I look back with a tear or a smile I don't think I miss a time at all.
