new perspective

do you ever go a long time without seeing someone,
and when you see them again, they aren't who you remember?
not in a negative sense.
just all of the sudden, they are a different person.
and you think to yourself,
"is this the person i knew before?"

or.

do you ever have a situation where you think you know someone,
but then they do something that completely throws you off?
again, not negatively.
you just think,
"woah, you are not who i thought you were!"

it can actually be a pretty positive thing in some situations.
i recently experienced this and it was interesting.
someone who i thought i knew
became somewhat different in my eyes.
for the better.
i think for just a second,
they let their guard down.
and i got to see a bit of their heart.

a new perspective.

I experience this often. The complexity of Persons.

I would love to read the context of this post.

Even so -- good.

Everytime this happens to me it makes me feel thankful of the decisions I made.
