That Soft Spot.

With all this time on my hands, I've been thinking about lots of things (hence why I've been so pre-occupied these days). About the past, the present and the future.

I've had a good life. 

because I can make ugly pictures with Paint :D 

Despite all the problems and issues I've gone through, life is still good.

Without those difficult times and moments were it was "raining" cats and dogs in my life (Murphy's law?) I wouldn't be the person I am today.

I've made my mistakes..oh, plenty of them and at times I do regret them. Yet I know that had I not gone made those mistakes, I would not have learnt from them either. Pretty much a Catch 22 I'd say.

But something that really caught my attention during this whole time is That Soft Spot.

People fall in love and they fall out of love.
But the funny thing is that even though you've fallen out of love, sometimes (and I really mean some times), there's that soft spot you have for that person. That uncontrollable "spot" in your heart - usually found when reminiscing the good times you had with that particular person.
I suppose that after having been that close once upon a time, its difficult to entirely erase any and all feelings once felt with or for that person.
Its like carving your name on a tree bark. Intially, its clearly written on the tree but as time passes and as the tree grows, the marks become less visible but its still there..regardless of how vague it may look. Anf if you chip off the outer layers of the tree bark, you'll see the carvings even clearer.
