Yeah this dress is SHORT I am kinda freaking out. Badly.
When I was little my best friend's mom was our Brownie leader. She was always very direct and didn't mince words. She treated me like her own daughter sometimes and put me in time out or what have you.( Her daughter E and I would get time out in different rooms in the library and we would knock out fake morse code on the walls to pass the time)
I thought she did this because she didn't like me. Turns out the reverse was true. She loved me. Once when we were older probably 22, we were in their kitchen talking about when we were little. (I have known her daughter since AHEM 1985?(4?) ) I said to her "I always thought you didn't like me as a kid" to which she replied. "Didn't like you?! I loved you! You were a fun little kid who was always outside the box. I don't think you knew you were supposed have a box." Now that is one of the best compliments I have ever had in my life. To some it might seem innocent but to me it makes all the things I do seem right some how. I like to remind myself of that comment on days where I get the "do what everyone else does or whats popular" feeling.
Why? I never did. Why start now?
Whats the best compliment you have ever gotten that might seem innocent to others?
I am not talking about when someone said you looked like a supermodel. I am talking about how someone said the gap in your teeth is why they fell for you. Or they love they way you write your w's. Something that TOUCHED you in a special way.
Comments
As far as compliments, one of the most recent ones that really made an impression was by a girl I didn't think liked me too much. I was at a party, and she came over and said, "I was talking about how cute your outfit was to someone...you're the most put-together broad at this party." You'd have to know her, but that's a HUGE compliment from this girl, and it stuck with me.
Another one, that was years ago, was from my boyfriend at the time who told me that I was one of the most ladylike girls he knew. Perhaps not the most fitting adjective for me, but I took it as a compliment. :)
(I have thought about it all!)
One of the best compliments I received was from a good friend who told me that I was honest.
Another one was that I had "topics to speak about" that made me interesting.
Both comments meant a LOT more as they came from people I love dearly.
I always like it when people laugh when I talk to them. It's truly the best compliment I can get. Nick tells me I smell like a beach a lot. It's a weird but wonderful compliment to me.
