back up plan

Haplessly taken for granted just because it’s not “exciting enough” or it’s “too good”. A plan that will only be referred to when all else fails. When you become a back up plan you should
figure out a way to hit them hard with the realization that you won’t always be there for them to walk all over you when they have no one else to go to; that you’ve got your own plans too. Otherwise, you my friend, will forever remain stuck in that phase.

Person #1 : What, so now I’m a back up plan?
