Keep an open mind!

What are your priorities? Family? Friends? Academics? Shopping?

It's a simple fact, well known too, yet people still don't acknowledge or recognize the fact that we all have different priorities. You cannot reprimand someone for keeping THEIR priorities straight just like you are. There is a fine line between being inconsiderate and having priorities.

Too often I see this situation occur:
Person 1: "She ignored me on whatsapp but her last seen changed!!"
Person 2: "Talk to her about it maybe?"
Person 1: "I did, she answered later and said she was busy with family but I'm still angry at her for ignoring me"

You are NOT being ignored because someone was busy. Being ignored is when someone doesn't answer you, full stop. Being ignored does not in any way equate to someone seeing your message and deciding that it is more suitable for them to answer you when they are free to talk to you!

Some people don't like using their phone when with family, when with friends, or when simply watching a movie on their own! It's not rocket science and this shouldn't be an issue for anyone. There should be enough mutual understanding to understand other's circumstances.

In that situation and in many others of the same sort, you need to keep an open mind to what the other's circumstances are.

I personally regard academics as my number one priority - when a friend of mine asks me to hang out on a day I know I will be busy with school work, I will not agree to go out, not because I don't "care" for this friend or that I don't "want" to see this friend, but more because I think it's more important to finish studying!

Keep an open mind! 

- Have a great day!
