You don't know what you had, untill it's gone...

I can come up with a lot of situations about this subject.
I will start with this simple one...

Every body had a moment in their life when you were eating candy and after you got full of it you throw the rest away in the garbage. You just had enough of it. But you don't realize that you only had enough for that moment, some hours later the apetite for the candy will come back and you will be sorry that you threw it away.
Most of the times before you throw the candy away you think by yourself, what if I will want to have the rest later? But on the other hand you think, I had so much of it I don't want it anymore. But in the end you realize that you lost something what you actually would be happy to still have.

The same situations happens with people.
How many times did you hear the story of 2 people when 1 wanted the other but the other had no interest?
I bet a lot of times. The main thing that mostly happens after this is that the first person get enough of waiting and will move on. The second person will see that person being happy with someone else and think about what he could have.. But it is already lost.

This is also a populair situation...
When someone want to get out of a happy family because he think it is boring.
I saw the same situation in the Movie Shrek the other day and I was thinking about it.
Shrek had everything he could ever dream of, a nice wife, 3 children, good friends, nice house. He was happy, but he had enough of it and wanted a change.
He wanted to have one day to be himself again, and he got it.
He saw his wife being happy with other things, his friends didn't even recognize him. He was alone and not happy, and he had a chance to loose it all because of his stupid choice.

Don't worry there was a happy end to this movie.

But in the real life this situation can get pretty ugly. You can really loose the life you have if you think it is not exiting anymore and it get really average and boring. Think twice of what you have and if you are ready to loose it or change it for something else .
