I'm Here

 Sometimes, my feelings are hurt when I show up for someone and the first thing they say to me is:

 "Where's so and so?" 

"Did you see so and so?" 

"Hey, did you bring so and so?"

                    "Is so and so here?"

When I hear this first thing, I feel so small. Like why did I even come? Obviously, it doesn't matter. Would they have asked for me if I didn't show up?

Instead, say this to me:

"Thanks for coming" 

"It's so good to see you!"

                    "I'm so glad you came!"
