Everyone has thr need to know they're important, and not just convenient. It's not about being needy, clingy, and insecure. It's about being valued. It will not set you back a lifetime, it will not cost you your career. There's no need to stop everything while you figure out someone's worth. In fact there's no need to think about it, you just know.

At some point you have to accept the fact that truths are not the norm.

Timer starts

Unfortunately, I feel like I am always on borrowed time. 

I want to be a good friend. Tell me how.
