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.

It’s so easy to focus on negative feedback & forget the compliments, & potentially very harmful. We all need to do this much more. Great reminder.
