Priority or Option

I saw a bumper sticker on facebook that said "Don't make someone a priority when they make you an option". I thought it was referring to love relationships, but now after much reflecting I know it can refer to any relationship.

I have realized that my entire life can be summed up by saying that I am only an option to everyone that I have ever known. I am viewed as a strong woman who can take care of herself, therefore I never need to be anything but an option.

Why, just because I am strong, do I not qualify to be someone's priority?
