Move on with your life. | by Marieclairehenry | Jul, 2025

I sat in the library for 3 hours thinking while I didn’t go there for that, I was preparing for the exam I went to study for, and it turned into a moment of reflection.

Do you want to know what I learned after 3 hours of thinking?
I’m done. Understand that there are people around you who talk to you often, who check on you often, but it’s not because they really care about you, or you’re important to them. Many of them just use you as a hobby because the people they really need are not there. They use you to fill that void.

I understand that the biggest mistake you can make is waiting for someone to change.
Sometimes it’s better to move forward with tears in your eyes than to sit there crying where there will never be change.
Sometimes, we see a position that is not right for us, but we refuse to move forward. Let me tell you, no matter how bad it feels, move forward because there will come a time when you won’t feel that pain anymore.

Everyone knows what they want, stop sitting around reminding someone to remember you, stop telling them what they should do or how to treat you, because to someone you are important will not make you feel neglected.
If they don’t remember you, it’s because you are not a priority. Stop reminding them that they should remember you. There are people and other things they remember that don’t require that.

I just want to tell you that the position you are in, where you are being neglected, does not deserve you. You deserve better than that.
