people giving me compliments on my cognitive abilities and how good i am at my job is the best compliment. i’m a middle school science teacher and i do a lot of other things for the school. hearing my coworkers and supervisors say i’m doing great work (and knowing it, too) is just a really great feeling. i don’t work to make money, i work to change lives and hopefully the world. it’s super fulfilling but incredibly hard work. so hearing that i’m doing a good job is like telling me my soul is fulfilling its mission. 🥹 why did i cry a lil typing this? hahahahah
