Do you miss your old self?

Occasionally, I find myself missing my old self. At present, I realized how life is tough at some point, especially now that my biological parents are not here anymore. In my mind, they must be in this position when starting their family. If they are still here, the support system will be great. When they died, we also lost our relatives. They had changed when they did not exist in this world anymore. My siblings and I do not mind them if they do not like us.
Unlike now, we can feel their absence in our lives. There are times that I talk to them before deciding something. I am asking their guidance as my angels.
Do you talk to yourself?

Yes, I do talk to myself! Sometimes verbally and sometimes mentally! Don't bother about relatives- they are pain all around the world!!

@anya12adwi Indeed. Although they are still trying to be in contact with my other siblings. I do not mind, but they never dare to do it to me.

There have been several stages in my life and that which I miss is when I was at home with my parents.

@allknowing I am sure that they you are still close to your relatives, right? Unlike us, we were like an orphan and left without any support.

I have a bad habit of speaking out loud.

I can't say anymore about your parents. But I am glad you still have your siblings with you... have you watch Toni Gonzaga's reels? They say you can pick a fight with everyone but not with your siblings... I hope you will always have a strong bond with God and your siblings.
I write to myself after writing to God, specially when I feel a bit malfunctioning.
I miss my life before, because when we were kids all I have to do is to have a better grades so I can avoid being scolded and hit by a rod.
I also miss hanging out with my friend. My childhood i not perfect and my family too.. But I know if given a chance I will not change anything I just want to get back on my childhood days and experience those happy moments in school, with my cousins and friends, and my sibling. God bless.

I am also hoping that my siblings will not change. If there are some misunderstanding, I can guarantee that they will not just ignore the fact that we are still family.
I do miss my younger years because the only thing that I need to do is to study hard and be diligent. I remembered my mother that the only respoonsibility is to deal with my studies and nothing else.
I do have some close friends and tried to choose the best ones. I had bad experiences whom I thought they are best of friends. I do have random flashback in my childhood years. There were bad and happy thoughts. But still, I like how made me at present because of these things.

I miss some parts of my old self--like being able to do things physically that I find I can't do as easily now!

Talking to yourself is a good thing , give your circumstances. It gives a kind of reassurance to your soul. Life is a mystery and sometimes the puzzles are not great. You have a unique challenge where you have a family but then you do not have your near and dear ones to guide. The first challenge you must sort out is how the income will be generated for your family and how things can be increased. Unfortunately some guidance can be given , action would be for you. Second challenge, for guidance on other areas of confusion, you can reach out here in mylot. There are many who can give different perspective to resolve issues. And that could be helpful as well. There are many who are doing it as well. So, do not feel victimized and fight the challenge .Be the victor!

Indeed. I need to keep my feet on the ground and the face the real world. I do not usually linger to the things happened in the past. Walking down to the memory lane is a part of being reminded what I had learned from them. Mylot is one of my outlets to unload my stress over stressors in life.
