"Can someone really be too busy to create small time for a person they claim to care about?"

This question raised a bit of dust on the streets of Twitter with different people giving their hot takes on the topic and becoming relationship experts at the spot.

This question must've popped up in our minds long before now and deep down, we have the answers but quite a number of people have let their thoughts be beclouded by sentiment. Some feel they shouldn't say it's impossible because they haven't had first hand experience and should "not judge a pain they've never experienced." Several others gave their honest opinions and sighted perfect examples from their personal experiences.

This isn't like the topic of Karma which is filled with unanswered questions. There's a saying that goes, "the heart wants what it wants." There are no truer words than this. If you claim to genuinely love and care about a person, five minutes isn't too much to "squeeze" out of twenty four hours to reach out to the person. You cannot possibly be busy throughout the day. Only a clock is that busy and at some point when its battery is weak, it stops working. 

If you're in doubt about this or you're fighting with your conscience right now because you're guilty of giving this flimsy excuse, then think of it like this; you have three meetings to attend and also have a lot on your hands to work on and you just need all the time you can get and you know that at the end of the day, you would get home exhausted and all you'd want to do is sleep. This tight schedule equals no time for your phone, right? Now answer these two questions honestly; do you have anything at all to eat during the day? Do you use the restroom for at least once during the day? If your answers are yes, then you have no excuse to not reach out to your loved one. It would take nothing from you to pick up your phone and put a call through to him/her while you eat or excuse yourself from work to use the restroom to know how they're faring and at least let them know you think about them but your busy schedule wouldn't let you have time for your phone. You can send texts in two minutes between your meal or in the restroom. It's not a difficult thing to do. You can as well pause work for five minutes to send a simple text assuring them that you have them at heart or putting a call through to know how they're faring. Taking out five minutes from twenty fours hours wouldn't let the whole work you've been trying to make right collapse, I promise you, it won't

You're not having enough time during the day to reach out to that person simply because he/she isn't on your top list of priorities. I know everyone is trying to "secure the bag", but if they matter to you, you would always find time. People make out time for people and things that are important to them.

If you're in this situation at the moment and are confused as to what to do because you're getting fed up, I'm sorry you have to go through this and it's probably a sign for you; more often than not, we see signs but love is powerful, so we overlook them. First of all, set up a meeting with your partner and discuss this pressing issue with him/her. Explain what effective communication is to them and why it matters a whole lot for the relationship to work out like you both want it to. If they're really particular about you, then they would make amends and always reach out to you in between their busy schedules. If the problem persists or they refuse to see reasons with you on this issue, then you might need to weigh your options; settling for being an option and less important in their life or identifying the exit door and using it.

People make out time for people and things that are important to them. Never settle for less as you're enough and deserve nothing but the best.
