re: compliments.
this is probably one of my favorites, ever:
"anyways, ive been thinking a lot about you latetly and i really do miss YOU, not just making out, or having sex, but i miss the way u think, the way you talk, and the way you respond oh, so bitterly honestly to everything. i miss you"
-tercero, my venezuelan friend [the source of those <3 posts so long ago...]
things like that make me happy on the inside.
