Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option
Okay, I'm not sure if that's a statement or a declaration or a battle cry, but I've been thinking about that for the last couple of weeks.
Sometimes I think I wear myself too thin because I try to treat everyone in my life like they are a priority.
The question is... how do you make sure that you're not just an option to them?
Well, in my opinion, there are a couple ways. None of them are good.
1) Keep a notebook...
Yep... track why they call you. Do they want something? Do they want to talk about their day or do they call just to check in on you? Is there a balance?
2) Try to get a word in edgewise...
In the middle of the conversation, tell them something about you. Do they gloss over it or do they actually care to see what's going on for a minute?
3) Go missing...
If you talk with them on a regular basis stop. Do they realize that you're no longer in their life?
Anyway... gotta run... that's enough blogging for the day.
