i’ve always held this notion that i am not an important part of anyone’s life. that i am a secondary at best. that no one thinks about me when they sit down and consider the important things that are going on in their life. i had thought that i had finally found a counterexample to this theory but my supposed counterexample only confirmed it. i am okay with being on the sidelines. i am okay with the fact that i don’t actively occupy anyone’s thoughts. i am okay.
