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.

Everyone needs a complement now and then.

I always complement my nieces and great nieces whenever I see them.
I complemented the older ones boyfriend the other day and he was so happy: almost in tears.

His parents had never given him random complements!
