So I've been reading up about fan theories and there were a few that really jumped out at me. One in particular was about Garfield. Here it is (edited for grammar):
How Garfield is actually dying of starvation, and just imagining Jon and Odie. There was a reference to this in a Halloween themed comic. Garfield woke up in a condemned and abandoned house. He calls out for Odie and Jon, but there is no answer. He then wills the illusion back on himself and continues his delusions about his 'family'.
I found this incredibly creepy and sad. In fact, I'm down stairs alone the only sounds I can hear is the computer whirring and me tapping the keyboard. Having just walked around the house once, I'm feeling incredibly alone. As if no one ever actually lived in your house at all. Sure, being home alone has its advantages but if you think about it in Garfield's perspective, it's quite...sad really. Yeah, eat all the food you want. Sleep as long as you want. Play games for as long as you want. Hell, watch porn as much as you want but eventually, you'll find that you're so, so alone. Since I've been with Garfield from the start, it actually brought a manly tear to my eye.
Imagine that. Waking up tomorrow on a cold and rainy morning and not finding anyone there. Calling out to your parents or your siblings. Going to the kitchen to find that the chairs have grown old, dust covered the tables and the paint had begun to crack.
There are some things that we take for granted. Even if it's just an everyday thing: Mum or Dad taking you to school. Mum cooking for you. Your brother or sister trying to annoy you. The simple comfort of having someone to be there for you. We spend every day expecting things.
Learn from it. Cherish it. By all means, you can hate it but at the end of the day you have a house, you have a home. You are the 1%. I actually spend nights thinking about how lucky we actually are. That we have a a stable environment, that I live in a safe neighbourhood.

All I'm trying to say is: don't take stuff for granted. Say thank you, say your sorry's and move on. No matter what, everyone will disappoint you. They won't mean to, but they will. Get over what ever you're mulling over about. Go out there and do it. Go to that person and say what you need to. Their reaction might not be what you expected but you all know that feeling of getting something off your chest.
I think I steered a little off somewhere there but I'll leave you guys with a quote:
Never regret something that once made you happy.
