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

Ha :) My favorite teacher in high school (an English teacher) gave us this task during the last week of classes senior year. We had to compliment each of our classmates; she compiled all the compliments into a list for each person, printed them out and framed them so we could take them home and look at them whenever.

With you I don't know where to start, really :) You are sensitive, bold, smart and principled. You believe in justice and fairness, and also believe that it's good to be human, good to be alive, good to be with other people. You're super smart about social justice stuff and I admire that to the point that I can't imagine not doing some sort of activist work for a career or hobby. It's a blessing to know people like you exist, that living a life in pursuit of beauty and justice is not impossible or unrealistic.

Also as a side note, your writing is very evocative and clear.
