Life is not a bed full of roses. There are ups and downs in one's life. You win one, you loose one. But life goes on! Want to have several things, but get only a few or little more. Sky is the limit for our ambitions and wants. In the process we used to loose or miss vital things. If our desires are more, first thing we lose is peace of mind. There are many other things that we lose in our pursuit viz. loss of friendship, loss of persons, loss of money etc. As far as i am concerned, i want to be and is a contended person and don't aspire for things which are beyond my reach. How about you,myloters - Have you fulfilled your ambitions and goals,and in the process what you lost or what you miss? Peace of mind, friendship or any other loss?

When I met the man who would become my husband, my best friend since 5th grade didn't like him. He didn't like her, either. I was ready to settle down and get married, and she was a late bloomer just coming into herself, and she wanted to party all the time. She and I had had tickets to a Jackson Browne concert for 8 months before I met my husband, and the concert just so happened to be on his birthday. I'd only known him for 6 weeks by then, not knowing we would get married, and he was barely my boyfriend! So I went to the concert with her. That was when I realized I couldn't have them both anymore. I could party with her, or I could settle down with him. I was only 19, but I chose to settle down. And when my "best friend" saw my engagement ring, she walked out of my life. I talked to her a few times after that, saw her even less than I talked to her, and she was the one person (other than my family) that I had seen and talked to every single day since 5th grade. I asked her to be my maid of honor in my wedding, and she laughed at me. She told me that she didn't like him, he didn't like her, she didn't think the marriage would last a year, and she wasn't going to be any part of it. She didn't even attend, though I sent her an invitation. I haven't spoken to her since. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her, wonder what she's doing now, but I have a wonderful husband and great kids, and I wouldn't change the way things are for anything in the world. I miss her, but I'm happy now and I hope she is, too. I've been married 3 1/2 years. I have a friend I've known since kindergarten, and another I met after I graduated high school. Those women and my sister are my true best friends, and all 3 were bridesmaids when I married. My sister was my maid of honor. I miss my former friend, but I've gotten over the hurt of losing her. I wish her the best in life.

If friendship with her could only enhance my life now, yes. We would never again be as close as we once were, but I would still welcome her with open arms. However, if friendship with her was bad for my marriage and family, then no. That doesn't stop my wishing her well, though. Wherever she is, whatever she's doing, I hope she's having a great life. I know I sure am!

For your good heart, you will have everything you want. Could you accept your former friend, if she presents again before you? Thank you for your response.

What I miss most in my life was playing with other children when I was still a kid. I usually see children playing with other children, or playing with their toys or just having fun when the rain falls. But I usually do not do those kind of things. When I was a kid, my parents forced us, me and my brother, to study our lessons during weekend, read story books and even pocketbooks and write the summary of the books that we read and even look for the meaning of the terms that we do not understand in the books that we read. Aside from that, we are forced to watch television that is an educational one. Reading cartoons and such is not allowed. And also when playing games or such, it should be something that we can learn from like crossword puzzles, a small machine that teaches us to drive, and such.
