I hope you understand that when someone truly cares, they’ll make time, no matter how full their days may be. In this world, no one is ever truly too busy; it’s just a matter of priorities. I say this because I’ve learned that when you genuinely value someone, you’ll find ways to show up for them—even if it’s just through a simple message or a few words to let them know you’re thinking of them. It’s painful when you find yourself hoping for attention or waiting for someone who claims they care but never seems to find the time. It can make you feel like an afterthought, like maybe you’re asking for too much. But the truth is, real connection deserves presence, not just promises. It deserves consistency, not just words spoken in fleeting moments. When someone matters to you, you won’t make excuses, you’ll make the effort. I hope you know you deserve someone who doesn’t leave you wondering where you stand, who shows you with actions that you’re valued and not just a convenient option. Because when people really care, they don’t let work, distance, or life’s hurdles get in the way—they create space in their lives for the ones they love. True care is shown in the small, quiet moments, in the times when they could be doing anything else but choose to be with you instead, even from afar. So don’t let anyone tell you they’re too busy, because the reality is, we all make time for the things that matter most. And when you’re important to someone, that effort will always be there, steady and true. I hope you hold out for the one who proves you’re worth the time, who doesn’t let you feel alone or uncertain about where they stand. You deserve someone who won’t ever make you feel like you’re waiting or reaching, because they’ll be right there, putting in the effort, just as you would for them. - @richard23267
