This quote... is so true. There is another quote that I find goes hand in hand with this; "You don't know what you have until it's gone". This seems to follow after because you love something as you begin to realize that you miss it... and the feeling completes itself when you lose it all-together. Upsettingly enough... I know this feeling too well. In fact, I have this feeling right now.
I'm currently arguing with one of my best friends; hence the reason I chose this quote. I have SO many other quotes I could add right now to express my emotions but... I don't think it'd do much good. This IS Mountain RANTS, so excuse me if I DO rant. Do you think that friendship is a two-way street? Should a friendship survive if only one person makes an effort to fix things, if only ONE person makes and effort to keep things going while the other sits on the sidelines and watches everything go up in flames? Is that fair? In my eyes... no. Many of my friends tell me to leave this person behind and just drop things; but they honestly don't understand my bond with this person. You don't just walk away and give up on someone you've known for 4 years. Someone you've come to love, trust, and care about deeply. You DON'T do that. You work things through and continue, taking things as they come. The issue that caused this fight wasn't even that important... so there is no way in hell I'm just going to drop a strong friendship. People too often say things without thinking, or speak without knowing the depth or importance of a situation... and it sucks. Because then it just gets people mad at one another for no good reason, which isn't fair either. I think people should keep their noses out of other people's business, PERIOD. And if you don't know ANYTHING about the situation... just stay silent. Don't make it worse. Maddie

Maybe the approach you advocate for your friends right now would have worked if you had used it with two other friends that you ended up breaking it off with.
