In which I attempt to spread good feelings
It's that time again, when I stare with trepidation at the impending death-and-rebirth of a year, and with apprehension at both the future and the past.
Everyone, myself included, occasionally needs validation. People to take a step back and look at them and say, "Well, you're pretty great. And here's why.." We all need to hear loved ones tell us we're worth loving and respecting.
Too many memes are about false analogies. 'What star sign is your pancreas?''How will your pet skunk die?' This one is different. This is not a time waster, or a snark.
One little compliment can make you feel amazing. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. Put this in your journal. And once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind how great you are.
I'm doing this right now because it's a Good Thing. I suggest you do too. You may want to put it in your Memories to peek at for a perkup on a glum day.
So if you like something about me, tell me so. Something I do, something I say, something I am. If you like that I'm not something, tell me so too. I promise to hold your affections close to my heart, whoever you are. Comments are screened so only I will know if nobody feels like catering to my demands for coddling. :P:/
And I will gladly do the same for you, whoever you are! :)
