Stop staring at your phone screen.

Stop checking to verify that you didnt miss a notification.

Stop equating your worth to how quickly someone texts you back or whether they text you back at all.

You cant put your life on hold while you wait for them to give youattention.

You cant spend every second wondering what they are doing instead of answering you.

You cant let them hold that much power over you.

If they take a while to respond, dont jump to conclusions.

Dont assume that you arent good enough for them.

That they arent interested in you.

That they want nothing to do with you.

That they read your text and rolled their eyes because you mean nothing to them.

And dont hate yourself for sending the text in the first place.

Dont sell yourself short.

Dont let yourinsecuritiesget the best of you.

You have no idea what they are going through.

They might be busy.

They might be asleep.

They might be at work.

They might be trying to impress you by playing it cool.

They might be struggling to come up with a suitable answer to send you.

You cant expect them to drop everything for you.

You cant expect to be the center of their world.

You are better off without them.

You dont want to waste your energytextingsomeone who is never going to answer you.

Someone who doesnt value your time enough to bang out out a two sentence text to you.

Youre really not asking for much.

Youre not out of your lane.

Of course, dont blame yourself when your phone screen stays blank.

Dont be mad that you tried to talk to them and got the cold shoulder.

Be thankful that you reached out to them and discovered how they truly felt about you.

Be happy that you realized they werent good enough for you.

That they arent worth a second of your time.

That they arent worth one more text.
