Knocking on an old familiar door 🚪

Some old doors that you knock on can be a complete waste of time because they lead to NULL. System crashes happen when pograms execute and throw NULL POINTER EXCEPTIONS.  Similarly, when you chase a job that no longer recognises your efforts, a person that no longer sees your worth, a long lost friend, a relative (keep calling them, knocking on their door, and they just behave difficult and don't respond, that doesn't make you desperate.  In fact, saying exactly what's on your mind, makes you authentic. You see the value in that relation, but they don't. So what do you do? Just let them know that you don't intend on playing games, and if it's a lost cause, then you will surely let go and move on. However, if there is a sign of hope somewhere, you can try to pursue it at your own risk. But be preapred to be ignored again. Because difficult people are difficult. It's a norm for them to take the easy way out for themselves and make someone else's life difficult. But worst case scenario, please do take a step back and keep walking till someone pursues you with the same fervour that you pursue them with.
