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.

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).
