mundane

stern reminder

I should remind myself that I am not the top priority of anyone.

People have lives. People have work that needs to be done, bills that need to be paid, homework that has to be sent in. They don’t have time to think about me, let alone reply to every message I send.
I am not a priority.

Their minds aren’t clouded with thoughts of me, so that post wasn’t directed towards me. I am not the first choice, nor the second, or even the third.

I am just someone to pass the time. I am not important to their lives so I shouldn’t think of myself as such. It would be self-centered and self-absorbed to even think that someone has me in the back of their minds.

I am not a priority. I am not on anyone’s mind. I am expendable.

I have to remember this to keep myself level, to stay realistic——Because let’s be honest, who is really thinking of me?
