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.

Y'all should take a moment today to compliment someone (besides me 😋).

And if someone gives you a compliment—believe it!

You're all amazing people, and I won't entertain any replies to the contrary 💝

Believing compliments is just not how I'm built. Even giving them sometimes feels hard, but I do it anyway and it's getting easier. Thanks for the reminder
