For some reason I always remember my favorite compliment. It wasn't about my personality, so maybe that makes it kind of superficial, but I didn't really take it that way. Once, I had someone tell me I had an "electric smile." I loved that compliment because it was genuine, and because I liked what it represented. I love to smile at people, and it's great when they smile back. I like being able to give a small bit of joy to someone else, especially if I don't know them. Plus, electric is such a great adjective! It has so much pizzazz behind it! and energy! I'm an English nerd, and I like diction very much.
Tonight I got a different compliment. It was simple, but it still put a smile on my face. I was told that I looked "lovely." I feel like lovely is such a better word than any of the ones I usually hear boys use. It was true that I had put effort into how I looked that evening, and I found it so sweet of this person to recognize that, and pay me a kind compliment.
That's it. I hope you remember to smile and pay a nice compliment to others as much as you can, whether it be to people you don't know at all, or people whom you truly care about. Either way, it's worth that miniscule amount of energy to make someone feel nice for a minute :)
