Knowing that there are people out there who TRULY appreciate every kind thing done for them, helps me believe that there are good people in this world, no matter how bad they may mess up.
Today, I saw two people that I helped out a while back, (I won't say who they are, or what I did for them, because it then makes the good deed kind of selfish) but I know that they're still grateful for my help that night. One of the two used to dislike me, for no reason really, and the other I'd barely spoken to twice in my life, but they were in a pretty bad situation, and I went completely out of my way to make sure I would help in any way possible.
It's now about two or three months later, and every time I see them, they always smile and nod at me. I saw the two today, and one of them called me "sweetheart". Normally, I'd think nothing of that, and just assume that it's something that he calls a lot of people, but I've heard him speak with other people a lot, and not once have I heard him call anyone that.
Knowing that they still appreciate what I did for them that one night, months ago, really made me feel about 10 times better than I had been feeling today. It made me feel like I'm maybe not as shitty a person as I think I am sometimes...
I just wish more people could be like those two.
Hmm, DFTBA.

It's tiny things that help.
