It\u2019s officially been 11 months on the road, and here are some of the highlights of what i didn’t miss:<\/span><\/p>

1- waking up to the same loud construction sounds in the city, or car honking,<\/span><\/p>

2- the sound of the neighbor\u2019s pee in the middle of the night, or high-heels going down the stairs five times a<\/span><\/p>

week at seven in the morning,<\/span><\/p>

3- relying on my computer to do \u201cwork\u201d and being contained in an apartment,<\/span><\/p>

4- seeing people sleeping on the streets, passing by them and just feeling sorry, and only participating in adding to their misery,<\/span><\/p>

5- wanting to consume all the time,<\/span><\/p>

6- feeling guilty for not doing enough,<\/span><\/p>

7- not being able to feel spaciousness as a matter of fact,<\/span><\/p>

8- not seeing at least three different kinds of animals everyday,<\/span><\/p>

9- the need to drive and drive to be in nature, or nature as a \u201cvacation\u201d destination and not part of the everyday,<\/span><\/p>

10- how conservative and closed we become when we live in one place that sells itself as being liberal for the most non-genuine reasons,<\/span><\/p>

11- how arrogant big city citizens are.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

disclaimer: i really enjoy making lists. i think i take after my father. In the evenings, chilling, he used to write down some lists (next day to do list, future plans, future dreams, finances) in tiny notebooks. Whenever i traveled, this was what he asked me to get for him as a gift. He is no longer interested in lists. On the road, i buy the $1 tiny notebooks and they come in colors, i keep them with me. A part of it is i know that my father would appreciate (would have appreciated) that, and the other part is that i really love making lists in tiny notebooks. I’ve been making lists since i was very young. In college, i used to exchange letters with my father, i was in Beirut and he was in Amman, and in some of these letters i found that he asked me for lists of what i needed, like if i asked for $200, he would in turn ask for a detailed list of what i planned to do with the $200.

In the evenings, chilling, he used to write down some lists (next day to do list, future plans, future dreams, finances) in tiny notebooks. Whenever i traveled, this was what he asked me to get for him as a gift. He is no longer interested in lists. On the road, i buy the $1 tiny notebooks and they come in colors, i keep them with me. A part of it is i know that my father would appreciate (would have appreciated) that, and the other part is that i really love making lists in tiny notebooks. I’ve been making lists since i was very young. In college, i used to exchange letters with my father, i was in Beirut and he was in Amman, and in some of these letters i found that he asked me for lists of what i needed, like if i asked for $200, he would in turn ask for a detailed list of what i planned to do with the $200. Thank you Baba, lists are now a blessing on the road.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/en\/note-30-what-is-missed-and-what-is-not\/","og_site_name":"\u0639\u0627\u0626\u0644\u0629 \u0631\u0648\u0643\u0627","article_published_time":"2017-10-25T12:55:00+00:00","article_modified_time":"2024-01-16T12:08:04+00:00","og_image":[{"width":2560,"height":1920,"url":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4392-scaled.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"theroccafamily","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"theroccafamily","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/note-30-what-is-missed-and-what-is-not\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/note-30-what-is-missed-and-what-is-not\/"},"author":{"name":"theroccafamily","@id":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/#\/schema\/person\/67568a891c9e909fc0fd19ed121c5dff"},"headline":"note #30: what is missed and what is not","datePublished":"2017-10-25T12:55:00+00:00","dateModified":"2024-01-16T12:08:04+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/note-30-what-is-missed-and-what-is-not\/"},"wordCount":537,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/note-30-what-is-missed-and-what-is-not\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4392-scaled.jpg","articleSection":["Road Notes"],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/note-30-what-is-missed-and-what-is-not\/","url":"https:\/\/www.theroccafamily.net\/note-30-what-is-missed-and-what-is-not\/","name":"note #30: what is missed and what is not -
