How I interpret it is, probably because my life is pretty sedentary, is because on the seemingly rare occasion it gets better, I don't realize how limited or dull my life was. For example, I met one of my best friends in late 2019, then another I started talking to in late 2021. Before I met them, I thought 'eh I don't really need friends' and I was just so blah. When I formed those friendships, it's like a big void in my life was filled. And I didn't know it was even there.

So what I'm basically saying is, you don't know what you're missing till you have it. Until you start moving (being a better person, making healthier choices, being more active, physically and socially) you don't realize how chained down you were by either self-imposed restrictions or restrictions thrust upon you by life.

But that's my interpretation. 🤷

I wish my sister believed this. The other day a friend of a friend offered her a job doing something for 200$ but she didn't take it because she's too shy. I tried to tell her it could possibly lead to more and that she shouldn't pass up an opportunity, but she just smiled and said she wouldn't do it.

It makes me so mad.
