It's truly not hard to be kind, to return a smile or 'hello'. I swear some people thrive on bitterness as if its their form of water. It really bothers me more when its someone who's constantly present in my life; its almost like they're a thorn I'm constantly snagged by. We're not enemies by any means (at least in my eyes) but their presence is more like a constant ache.
It's a harsh reminder that not everyone is meant to be kind, or kind to you no matter how understanding I try to be.
