Things I Miss

I miss writing.

I miss eating real food, not school lunches. I miss eating lunch after 12, and dinner after five.

I miss having time for myself, caring that I do, and not caring how much sleep I get because I'm the only one it affects.

I miss not being on all the time, not caring about someone else even in my dreams, and not wondering about the fact I don't have a life.

I miss going to bed early, and not being under constant stress of classes and conferences (yes, that is what I'm procrastinating preparing for) and parents who care more than me.

But I don't miss an inch the days of the theoretical, when we thought about making a difference instead of just doing it.

I don't miss that one bit.
