When you see something beautiful in someone, tell them. It may take seconds to say, but for them, it could last a lifetime.
Always go out in your way to compliment people; how will you feel bearing in mind that you made someone smile and you just boosted someone’s confidence.
There’s this girl in my class that’s very big and most times people ridicule her because of her size, even the teachers weren’t left out.
Everyone made her think plus size is a curse and she isn’t meant to exist; nobody wanted to be friends with her, she was trying so hard to overcome the body shaming, but these folks didn’t let her be.
I hated the fact that she always let them pick on her, many times I wanted to talk to her, she cut me off thinking I came to mock her like others.
I met her on the staircase after school dismissal and I didn’t fail to notice her neatly braided her and new shoes; I complimented her and she didn’t fail to look surprised. At some points, she turned and asked if I was talking to her.
I repeated what I said and I didn’t fail to notice the smile that crossed her lips; she was shedding tears, no one has ever appreciated her looks and I was happy to be the first.
Always appreciate people, make them smile; the world will be a beautiful face if we all have smiles on our faces.
