In life, peoples priorities shift. As you move away, you move out of the temporal and into memory. Like a photograph that’s left out in the sun, you begin to fade from their existence. The people you were once close to seem to forget about you.
Does that mean you never mattered to begin with?
NO!
If you looked at life that way you’ll realize that things can get depressing fast.
You did matter. You still matter. You are now a fond memory of a person of who’s life you influenced.
They still think about you, only… At random times in a nostalgic kind of way. Like that faded photograph. They wonder around and it pops back into their view when they pass it.
There you are. Soaking up that sun. It’s warm, fond, embracing.
That’s okay! You have to remember that people go through many interactions on a daily basis. It’s easy when you are not part of those interactions to fall by the way side. To fall out of mind.
Think about it. You are as busy as they are. You meet many people every day! You speak and interact with those in your immediate circle. How often do you think about them?
Do you catch my drift?
