LL of my day
A stranger paid me a compliment today. It was one of those days where someone randomly says exactly what you needed to hear. Definitely ended my day with a lighter heart.

And especially especially if it's about something I've done/said/think/etc. Of course compliments on your physical appearance are nice, but (to me) it hits harder when its a personality attribute or an action I took. Heh, in the past when someone's complimented my looks, I've said "Thanks, I'll let my mom know!" 😆
Really makes a difference when you hear it from a stranger
Isn't that strange? I suppose we (probably subconsciously) assume our loved ones are biased.
We're often told one of the keys to happiness is not needing external validation, and while I do think it's important to not have your value be made or broken on how people who don't know you see you - External validation just feels so dang good.
And - it's something that's so easy to do to spread positive vibes! It only takes a few seconds to pay a stranger a compliment, and it has the possibility to make their day. That's an incredible 'return on investment' 🤭
