not everyone sucks...

You ever date someone, but after the break up, you're just so disgusted?  But then time passes, and that disgust turns into ... something more positive, but I just can't find the right word for it yet.

I just did.

I dated someone for a quite some time.  It was good while it lasted, but the ending- not so much.  And you know as you slowly recover from the break up, you think of all the bad qualities of that person that just annoyed and angered the shit out of you, and then become thankful that you are no longer with that person.  Everyone's done it; don't lie and say you didn't.
Now, I'm not sure if everyone has done this: regain respect for that person.
OK, so maybe not all respect was lost during the break up, or maybe just the most minuscule amount, just enough for you to feel slightly disgusted.  Then later on, the person sort of redeems himself/herself in your eyes, whether directly or indirectly.

From my personal experience, I think it's pretty awesome.  No one wants to live in the past, and it is always best to move forward.  Of course, everyone ought to remember history in order to appreciate the present and look forward to the future.  From my point of view on the outside, I've seen a person change for the better.  It's almost as if I saw the person's talent and passion grow, develop, mature, whatever you want to call it.  And it's kinda cool.  I take it as a sign that not everyone in the world sucks major goose balls, and that there is just one more decent person in the human population.

,... and just for the record: NO I am not falling back in love with the dude.  Absolutely not.  I just have high respect for him, at least, knowing what I know.  In fact, I find it kind of pathetic that I have to make a disclaimer such as this, because there are too many sadly immature people who will take things out of context or misinterpret my expressions.  But let this be known- at least he is not one of them.
