Priorities

I’d rather see what people choose to do when left to their own decisions. Priorities tell you everything. They show you exactly where you stand in someone’s life, no need to ask, no need to chase.

People know what they’re doing. They know how their actions might make you feel, and if they still go ahead with it, that says a lot. You ever been in a situation where something feels off, but you let it slide? Maybe because you don’t want to look like you’re making a big deal out of nothing. But deep down, you know. And the more it happens, the more you start questioning if this person really values you at all.

“I’ve just been busy.”
“You’re exaggerating.”
“You’re doing too much.”
“I didn’t even think about it like that.”
“It wasn’t that deep.”
“You’re overthinking it.”
“You’re reading too much into it.”
“I didn’t mean it like that.”

Cool. I hear it. But how many times do you let it slide before you stop accepting excuses and start taking them at face value? Because when someone constantly puts you in a position that makes you feel overlooked or uncomfortable, that’s not a one-off. That’s a pattern.

So now, I just observe. I don’t argue. I just pay attention to who makes time, who takes accountability, who considers how their actions make me feel. Who cares for me, without me having to explain anything. It’s not about causing issues. It’s about accepting that I don’t need to force anything that’s not for me. And truthfully, if I have to think twice about you… that’s already my answer.
