Soft Spot in My Heart

I came across a former colleague via Facebook, and it would have been any normal conversation with her, up until she said "I miss you!" It was a simple sentence, all too often tossed to people even without meaning it. But then, it meant something, because I missed her too. And not only the person, but also because of what we had in common... our previous company.

It brought back all the good times I had working with them, working for the company I have always thought that I would end up growing old with. It was the company who had given me an opportunity to shine (imagine presenting in front of the board, in front of the owner!) and move up. I thought this was it.

Alas, it was not to be. As most of the good things, it had to end. Sometimes (like now) I look back and ask what happened, and I no longer want to think of a reason (though I know, but don't want to think about it, because I still believe in the good of people). But in just a snap, I was gone. Maybe some people are just too clouded with thoughts and fears that they fail to see other people's capabilities. Or probably they knew, but of course, fear and another feeling (let's not!) triumphed. Hahahaha.

Maybe even after 4 years of being away, my old company still has a soft spot in my heart. A position wherein I remember it lovingly, but end up thinking about it with hurt and sadness.

Or maybe, what they say is right. Do not love the company you work for, because you may never know when it will no longer love you back.
