Be careful that the things you take for granted now don't become the things that you miss later.
You know that feeling when you first get something that is really nice. That excitement that you feel when you open it or use it for the first time. Shortly after, that feeling begins to go away. It doesn't all go away instantly but bit by bit each day until finally we don't think about it at all. Even if we still use this item we become so accustom to having it around that we don't give it much thought. We tend to think that things will always be there. Truth is most things we use on a daily basis don't get much thought unless it is malfunctioning. Sometimes the same thing happens with the people we love. We take for grated the things they do for us until for some reason they are not doing them anymore. Even worse sometimes the things we hate the most become the same things we wish we could have back in the future.
I remember one day I came home and my mom had gotten a new dog. I never wanted this dog nor would it had been a dog I would have picked. Needless to say I hated him. I was home a lot around this time and that left me stuck with the dog, which didn't help me like it any more. It was small and I didn't like small dogs, he was hyper and loved to just jump all over you. Long story short the things that I hated about the dog became the things I loved about him. Sadly he is no longer with us, but I wish I could have seen him in the beginning the way I think of him now. The point of all that is to say; instead of dwelling on the things you dislike about something or someone, try to find the things that you do like. Give people a chance before you pass judgment on them and decide that you don't like them. How many times has the first impression been wrong? Give someone in your life a chance at a second first impression. You would want one if it were you. You never know when the person you dislike could be a possible best friend.
