I have a soft spot for certain people in my life. People I may not even talk to on a regular basis, but people I still care for. And it’s hard to have this soft spot because it may not be reciprocated. I may care deeply or desire to keep someone in my life, even as an acquaintance, but be completely ignored or shunned.

I won’t lie – it hurts, especially when there is a history behind the friendship. The people you come across in life make an impact on your life – whether big or small – and while they may leave a lasting impression on you, it may not necessarily be the same for them.
