Missing Links



There are times when we feel connected to somebody yet knowing the missing link in between is somehow impossible to be overcome, hence hoping to find out more, There are the moments where we are told the little detail or information in which may or may not surprise us, as we are pleased to find ourselves trustworthy enough to have the honour in connecting the missing links altogether. When the particular person or group interests us, we may wish to associate with them frequently, to be part of their world in terms of sharing emotions and if possible, to be involved in every event they’re in instead of knowing their life more through photos and words in the net or through letters. This may sound like an obsession but there are the points in life where some of us would feel such a way, depending on our status and cognitive state. It is natural not able to be completely involved in a person’s life, literally. Nevertheless, the little curiosity in us grows as we ask more and more questions, leading us to nowhere. We may never stop wondering why and in the same time, we can’t help but to feel lonely and helpless, even to the point where we need somebody to slap us awake and tell us to snap out of it. Perhaps it is when we are emotionally unstable that we wish to know more about what the others are up to in seek of the similarities and memories we once shared. Perhaps it is one of our very few methods to show how much we care and that the bond between us exists still though we may be miles apart. Perhaps it is our curiosity in nature to get hold of the missing links in between stories and photos just so we can form the entire picture in which we have missed. Perhaps we’re simply doing it for the fun of it in the name of social manner and to have the time slipping through our fingers even faster. Missing links are everywhere, but it is a decision to be made whether to search for it or leave it aside. Collecting and connecting the missing links can also be as meaningful or, as worse as intruding a person’s life against his will in which causes annoyance and affecting the strength of the bond in between.
