Where the streets have no name

There is one constant in my life that I cannot escape regardless of how hard I try. It is the inability to completely appreciate the events, experiences, or people in my life. I cannot discern if it is human nature or a personal block which prevents me from taking in these moments. Whichever reason it is, I rarely realize how special certain people or places are to me. After a recent concert I cannot seem to leave this issue. Whether it is time with friends or a special event we have experienced, we truly fail to realize the value of what we have until it is gone. Now don't ask me how to fix this problem because I don't know. I couldn't tell you which experiences to hold on to or which friends to cherish over others but then again that's life. Each person must go down their own path which is different from everyone else. What's the answer for me? I tend to rely on the happiness of others, making sure evyerone else is enjoying their time gives me a sense of satisfaction. Nothing can overcome a smile on a friend's face from across the room. But then again this principle can be self-destructive, caring too much and ignoring your own needs or desires can lead to unhappiness. So in the end I don't have all the answers, but maybe at least I have some interesting thoughts.

As for now I'm off, but for what reason do I leave temporarily? I'm off to slay some demon dragonfly. :)
