Wore an outfit today out of my comfort zone but one that I've always wanted to wear. So I said "FUCK IT, I'm doing it." Went to run some errands and then picked up dinner and as I was leaving the restaurant with my dinner I hear someone yell "Hey Girl!". Hella fucking confused I turn around to see a girl who's maybe 13. She's super excited and nervous and she said "I just wanted to tell you that you look really cool, I love your outfit."
Y'all.....
Y'all.... I was ELATED. I got back into my car and started tearing up because I was dressed the way that I wanted to dress when I was a teenager and was never allowed to and this kid thought I looked cool. Never had that happen before and it made my day.

Love this story! Kids can be fantastic, and compliments from them are always so genuine and pure. Thanks for sharing, it's made me smile!

I remember being on the bus several years ago, headphones on, just trying to psych myself up for another day of work. A teenager got on, also wearing headphones, got on and walked down the aisle. Before sitting, she took her headphones down, and got my attention. I took mine down and she said something like, "I like your hair." I thanked her and then we both put our headphones back on. I had recently dyed it blue, which was not super popular where I lived at the time (and it's waaay less popular of a thing to do now that I'm in NC).
