Everyone is missing out on the good shit in life focusing only on the forest but not the fine details, the forest only exists because of millions of small beautiful details.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m on the spectrum but I hope it isn’t, I wish everyone could experience the same joy I get from all the small things.
That’s literally what the saying means, dude. When you “miss the forest to see the trees” it means you’re focusing on one small aspect of a larger picture. You’re not seeing the details because you’re preoccupied with looking at something obvious.
