Sometimes it's just cool to talk to really encouraging people:
Just because you may have done something wrong in the past doesn't mean it should have bearing on your present personality. Since that situation happened, you have been constantly working to better yourself...you've done better than most people would have. And I didn't know you then. I cannot judge you on something in the past....I deal with you in the present, and what I know now is [that you are] a great person. That is also why I like to see you smile. Because I know [you are] a great person...not a person I think is bad because he may have had one mishap before. And great people should smile. :-)
