hey.
you have staying power in people’s lives. I’ll say it again: you have staying power in people’s lives.
you exist. you have a presence in your best friend’s life. you have impacted their life. you exist to them regardless of whether or not you’re in contact with them at this very second. in the course of their day, they will see things that can (and have) reminded them of you. they think about you. they miss you when you’re not there.
you’re not a nebulous creature that has no sway in another person’s life. no, my treasure, you are a person who is full of personality, light, love and interests shared in common with the people you most care about.
I know what you feel, but I promise you.
You matter, objectively, to the people who love you. They’re not going to forget about you. You are not disposable.
