Sometimes I'll see something or think something that reminds me of someone I used to hate.
But now it's different.
Now I think, sure I COULD get back on that hate train again...but why would I want to? It won't make anything better, it isn't a good conversation piece, and I have more important things to figure out and do. Besides, it's boring. Everything to do with these people is boring. I could just not think about them in any capacity ever again. I find that I really don't care about them at all. I feel some mild dislike, but mostly it's just disinterest.
I'm able to choose to ignore it, instead of getting red-hot mad anymore. I find I don't WANT to think about it anymore.
Honestly I'd rather learn something interesting, do something to move closer to being successful or at least normal, or have a pleasant conversation.
