    A stranger complimenting my top.

    It was my first time going out completely alone while wearing what felt like a pretty obviously feminine outfit in the daylight, and I was feeling really self-concious about it, especially given the location I was in.

    Having someone give me what felt like a genuine compliment really changed how I was feeling that entire trip. Made me feel dumb for trying to hold myself back. All I could think to say was “thank you”, and I hope he understood that I truly meant it. Lit up my entire day.

      So wholesome _

      Something similar happened to my partner - someone complimented her dress and she did the whole “Thanks, it has pockets!” thing haha - and it completely woke us up to doing the same for others!
