5 years ago on the subway i complimented an old lady wearing a pin-covered jacket and an elf-like hat
She asked me which pin was my favourite & I pointed to one of animal from the muppets. She took it off, handed it to me, and walked away before I could thank her. It felt like I’d been given a good luck charm by some mystical being.
I mentioned the moment 2 years ago in a songwriting class, and turns out she was a regular at the TA’s place of work :’) I think about her very frequently

The most heavenly feeling of being given a genuine and unique compliment, some of my faves:
1- "You have SWAGGER." - Teen boy outside a grocery store accepting donations 4 cancer research
2- "Yo! That's a sick jacket!" - 2 men in the shittiest most beautiful antique truck I've ever seen
3 - "You seem like you can get back up from anything, like nothing can truly hurt you" - my cousin who's like me but funnier
I'll keep coming back to this when I feel down 🌠💫

my mum said that old people feel so ignored and the number one thing you can do as a young person is to give them a compliment. I have actually only done this once but I think it’s so fire when an elderly person puts on a good outfit so I complimented an old lady’s garms recently and her face lit up crazy style
