When hierarchy is clear from the start and hinging is adequate, being secondary rocks.

You're the special one.

When you're together you make it worth because time is precious.

You don't need to solve all the problems you have when you are more enmeshed. Easy mode ON.

NRE is a slow burn that can last a long time. Several years after you still have so much to discover.

Can't meet this week? Sweet, divert all power to [some other project], officer!

I'm plenty happy with just having a toothbrush and a shoebox at one another's. I don't need more when the connection is rock solid.

Needing more and risking disrupting a perfectly working team would be disgustingly greedy at this point.

If I need a NP, I'll just get my own NP. Finding a NP has never been a problem, and right now you should look at all the time and space I have and all the bags of love I have because I'm a secondary and those are endemic to my privileged situation.

I love when I'm made to feel secondary.

EDIT : of course, my flair is a joke
