today,
I was having a really rough day. I'm a dancer, and I was in ballet and it seemed like I couldn't do anything right. My balance was off, my turns looked awful, and I couldn't seem to remember a single combination. I started to think maybe it's because I'm just not built to dance. I looked around at all the skinny, tall, beautiful girls doing the steps perfectly, and I hated my huge legs and stomach. I finished doing turns across the floor, and my friend Brianne said "Abby! You're so little! Do you even have to watch what you eat? You're so lucky." Just a couple minutes later, my friend Aubrey said "Sorry if this sounds weird, but I think you have the perfect body! I'm so jealous."
They have no idea what a confidence boost they gave me.
I still don't fully believe them, but I felt so happy.
Compliment people every chance you can. You never know what their insecurities are, or how much you might make their day. :)
