Being considered — truly thought about and factored into someone’s decisions — feels like such a fundamental part of love and care. When that doesn’t happen, especially repeatedly, it leaves this lingering ache. It’s hard when you feel overlooked or like your feelings weren’t a priority. That’s the kind of pain that stays with you because it’s not just about the individual moments — it’s about feeling like you weren’t valued the way you should’ve been.
It’s tough, but you deserve to be seen, to be considered in the same way you would do for others. Those moments when you felt disregarded don’t define you or what you’re worth, though. They’re painful, but they don’t take away from the love and care you deserve going forward.
