A good while back, when I was in a really dark place, someone on Fedi paid me a nice compliment that made my day. I saved it.

I've been saving them ever since—every time someone's compliment makes my day better.

I have hundreds now.

All these little snapshots of kindness.

I look at them when I'm feeling down and having intrusive thoughts sometimes—they always make me feel better about the world, and about myself.

@alice for a while, after getting really burnt out by the negativity and complaining one sees online, I had a habit of sending an email to the creator of something I liked every day to tell them how much I liked their work. Just a little way to encourage more positivity!
