Don't Let Someone Be A Priority When You're Just Another Option Available To Them

Start by loving those who view you as a priority.

Woman

We love making people worth our time. We always find time for people who we think are a priority. The real question is does the person think your priority too?

Don't let someone be a priority when you are only an option to them. The people who we create time for are the people who should also create time for us. We are so used to wasting time and letting people waste our time. However, we also blame people who waste our time when we have given them the chance to.

People will always have priorities and people will always have options. Making someone a priority is ensuring the fact that they also think of you as a priority. People can be deceiving and manipulative and have you thinking that you are a priority to them. When in reality all you are is another option for them.

We always think we have time but we don't have much time as we think we do. Time is more valuable than being an option. Time is always priceless because once it's lost, we can't get it back. Some of us lose people who are the most important to us because we give time to those who aren't even worth it.

We often find the importance of someone in our life when that specific person is gone. We often lose the connection we have with the important people in our life because we are to busy giving time away to people who think of us as an option.

Giving time to people who think of you as a priority is priceless but it is worth so much more than giving time to someone who is an option. We often fool ourselves thinking we are a priority to people when we meet them. We get hurt when we are told that we were just an option.

Stop giving time to those who think your an option. Stop giving that privilege to people who easily can waste precious time. Stop putting effort to build a connection with people who don't put the equal effort into the relationship. Stop abusing time when no one else is abusing their time for you.

Time is a teacher. You control who gets your time. Start making the decisions and start by knowing who is a priority in your life and know the people who view you as a priority.

We get time every day. The real question for us is to decide who gets our time? Who is worthy enough to spend time with? Is it someone who views you as an option? Or is it someone who views you as a priority?

You will never get more time but you will memories that last a lifetime. Don't throw yourself thinking someone is a priority in your life when your only another name on their contact list. Start by loving those who view you as a priority. Why wait until someone is gone to know the importance they had in your life?

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
