"Compliments can even surprise people. Really, it's so much easier to point out what's wrong with someone rather than what's right, and to focus on the beauty of the person."
Honestly, I've come to realize that I'm one of those people. I can handle compliments, but this year I've received some that have been backed up with great sincerity from the person saying it.
"You've really improved and grown as a photographer since the beginning of the semester." or "You look really pretty tonight." etc. are just some of the few things that I've come realize have taken me by surprise. I mean, it's so much easier to find qualities both good and bad in other people when compared to trying to find qualities in oneself. That's why I guess it is really important to step outside of yourself from time to time to observe if you're really aware of how you're acting.
That's all I've really got to say right now. I'm so brain dead, I haven't fallen asleep yet and it's already 6:30 a.m. Time for bed.
