Reflecting On What's Been Missing... "𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒀𝒐𝒖" By Emma Heesters
This feels like it's going to be a long reflection list for me even though one thing triggered this missing feeling in my heart. It feels like I miss everything from when I was little till I got older, I miss playing around with no worries, I miss doing so well in my class that I got good compliments, I miss having fun with my siblings and other kids.
One great memory that have stayed with me till now is the love for music my family and I built together. The love is still as fresh as ever but I miss singing my heart out. It's one of the things I would do almost everyday with little or no worries but for sometime now, I kinda force myself to sing or I just don't feel like singing when I want to.
Emma Heesters said so many relatable words in her song "Just Missing You" even though she directed the song to a person dear to her. I felt like I was singing the same words to all the things I've missed doing for a while now. I know I'm not the only one who pauses for a moment and realizes that something is not feeling right.
One of those moments for me was when I realize that I have to overcome whatever my fears or worries had been and do what I love, do what I miss doing, do what boost me even better for the troubles ahead. In a pidgin slang "Problem nor dey finish" meaning "Troubles never end", we just fight through them one at a time and enjoy the many happy moments we are blessed with.
I feel it's a big blessing to reflect on a past and feel very happy about it, even though I miss the times where I could sing very often and with no worries, I miss it with a happy mind and I can't wait to act on it, doing what I have been missing.
I was going through old photos sometime ago and what I saw on my faces then was one kind of mood, a happy one. It was like I never had difficulties in those days I took the pictures, it's amazing how photographs could capture our beautiful moments as if the sad ones never happened. I miss taking as much pictures as before too and I'm going to make that happen.
The message to myself from this post is to appreciate the present that I have and do all the good things I've missed doing, including making myself happy no matter how difficult a situation might look to me. I'll leave a video to the song "Just Missing You" and I hope you'd be able to connect to it in anyway you can, it's a lovely song.
So tell me, what do you think it's been missing? Something you've not done in a long while now. Mine is simple but somehow, I haven't been doing it enough, singing happily all the songs I love.

Life has a way of making us appreciate those simple and valuable things we never thought were that important.
I miss being free of worries, I don't think I can ever be prepared for what adulthood keeps dishing out.
Sometimes I just wish I could disappear even if it's just for a day to a place where I don't have to think of my problems
Lol I read where someone said the same thing, to disappear for a year and come back to resume the worries 😅
How wonderful to see Emma in a post by a non Dutchie (I assume), I did not know she was famous outside of The Netherlands. I thought the post would be about her current fight against cancer.
But great to see it was not, lovely post thanks !PIMP
Oh dear! Didn't know about her current situation, I hope she fights it through.
Thanks for stopping by.
Makes sense no worries I loved to see her spotlighted she deserves it!
Glad I shared.
