Instead of saying 'I like your earrings', say 'those are cool hoop earrings'.
It's less about her and her choice (a comment on her) and more about 'it' and it's value (a comment on something you have in common - both thinking it's cool enough to wear and cool enough to comment).
We sit and wait as so many others are! You wish for a letter, you wish for a gift, or a big gesture, a moment where no one else matters but you, a fantasy of being unconditionally loved, praised, honoured, maybe even worshiped for a moment.... You have the power to do this to someone... Write a letter, personalise a gift, say a kind word, dedicate some uninterrupted time... that's very powerful, and can be used as a tool to empower the lonely, the sick, the frightened, the enslaved, the belittled, this power of words, power of gifts, power of time... We can all change the world... The smallest deed can send ripples though history
A story...
I was selling flowers at the market a few days ag and the stall next to use was a father and daughter selling honey... I had lots of discussions during down time... The little girl Eloisa (12-14 maybe) taught me lots about bees... Anyway at the end of the day I stole a long stem red rose from our pile and thanked her, hoping she'd feel special... As I walked away I imaged the future for her life and choices that I'll never see... That moment could change the choice she makes about a douche guy that treats her like shit but instead respects herself and has value and says no, which gives her the space to chase her dreams and meets other like minded people who unite and cure cancer, cease world hunger, bring peace to humanity... That's life changing... Or it was just a flower and gets thrown away after I leave, the end... Ill never know, but it's now a possibility... We all have the power to change the world... that's the exciting/terrifying thing about life.
