What are some things you have only learned to appreciate after having lost them ? Without a doubt for me it was having hair on top of my head.

I didn't bother to see if it could be fixed because I didn't have much money into it and I didn't think it was worth much (becase it was old). So I sold it for parts.

1) My first Jazz bass - stripped strap-button casualty.
2) My '86 Grand National - loved that car.
3) My king-sized waterbed - haven't had a good night's sleep in a decade since.
4) My folk's house - after they sold it and moved away, it was demolished - lots of memories.
5) My cassette-based Tascam 4-track - that thing probably saw three times as much use as my home DAW and my H-2 combined. It's amazing how much the absense of bells and whistles allow you to just get on with it.

I appreciated as much when they were here as I did after I lost them. Yeah, I miss all of them, but I cherish and value the great memories and good times I have from when they were here.

I've been missing how magical the world seemed when I was young as of late. It's tough to find the same passion now.

Man that seems so stupid...

I obviously loved him while he was alive, but I never realized how much I took for granted in that relationship until after he died.
