A gym bro complemented my gains yesterday morning.

That bro will get a fist bump whenever I see him now.

10 years ago my buddies sister met me for the first time. I had bigs arms then. Out of no where she grabbed my arm and squeezed it, giggling. All she said was wow. I think about that often.

I got complimented on my painted nails yesterday. Made my day because it's obviously not a common stylistic choice for men.

Had a 5th grader tell me yesterday that I was her favorite substitute teacher.

My fiancée calls me beautiful, pretty, gorgeous all the time. I know they are traditionally more feminine descriptors but I don’t care I f*****g love it. Always puts a smile on my face.

A friend helping me through a separation and custody battle reassured me that I'm a good man and a good father. It felt so good to hear, all I could do was cry.

“…A special thank you for investing time in teaching me how to appreciate and uplift our team. Your leadership style positively impacts our work environment…”

Went straight in my “Motivational” folder in my email inbox where I keep expressions of happiness to look over on tough days. I have 7 items in that box from the last calendar year.

Kindness, is a delicacy that we should all strive to make less rare.

Depends on if it's physical or emotional

Physical was 14th of December 2023, One of my classmates complimented my outfit saying I look great and well put together

Emotional was yesterday I spent the entire semester helping all of my classmates in college study making them guides answering questions and giving out free lectures, yesterday was results day so I got praised by anyone that passed the semester and they all passed I made sure of it.

Yesterday actually. I was at my dentist picking up my toothpaste and the older receptionist lady told me how handsome I looked. I’m still on cloud 9 because of it.
