Priority

You know what the truth is? "I'm busy"—it's just a popular excuse, nothing more.

The same person who forgets to send you even a single text after five days have passed is the one who would once grow restless if you hadn't spoken for even five minutes.

The person who says "I'm busy" today while talking on the phone with someone else is perhaps the same one who would once wait for your call like a devotee longing for a glimpse of the divine.

People are like this—once they have everything, they no longer value it. When the need ends, so does the waiting.

The truth is, there's no such thing as being so busy that you can't spare even a small inquiry in this world. Everything depends fundamentally on priority. How busy a person appears to be essentially reveals the level of your priority in their life.

"I'm busy" means "I don't want to spend time on you." Those who don't understand this are called fools. Fools suffer greatly in this world.

No one in the world is so busy that they can't make one phone call in an entire day, or send one text after waking up or before going to sleep. Times change, and with them, people's willingness to give time changes too.

You know what the real truth is? When the priority space reserved for you gradually gets occupied by someone else, people become busy even with meaningless tasks. When someone new comes and takes your place, finding time for you becomes utterly unnecessary to them.

Wait. Gradually, even a lame dog learns to walk, and slowly moving rivers learn to become turbulent currents and merge with the sea. Time is the greatest teacher.

A day will come when you won't be able to find the need to count them anywhere in the tiny gaps between your ten fingers. You won't have any time left on your clock to wait for them.

Yes, that day will come when, holding the hand of the right person, you'll walk past them laughing, and you won't even need to turn back to look at them. You too will learn to be busy when it comes to them. Let that time come, let the path for the right person to enter your life become even wider. Open the windows of your life, let light and air flow in. You'll see that someone will return to you tenfold the peace and happiness you've lost. Someone will sing you to sleep with ten times the joy for all the days and nights you've spent crying sleeplessly. Only those who don't know how to sleep cannot sleep.

Good times come only to those who know how to pay the price for good times.

Someone whose life doesn't value your priority at even two cents shouldn't have their priority worth even a penny in your life. At the end of the day, we're all alone. So if you don't know how to keep yourself valuable, a worthless life becomes the only destiny.

Someone whose clock doesn't hold even five minutes for you shouldn't have even five seconds of your life. The person isn't busy; their need for you in their life has either ended or diminished today. Accept this simple truth. Our lives have such small capital! What's the point of spending our lifespan in regret after regret?
