In my experience, compliments are never truthful.
Compliments from romantic suitors I will always take with a mountain truck of salt, but I think it’s depressing to think that someone would never throw you a genuine compliment. You’re deserving of them.
This quote reminded me of you:
The problem, as I see it, is that a sad percentage of gorgeous women just settle for being gorgeous. They get to sixteen, go, 'Well, I'm gorgeous, people like me, that's it,' and just stop. They've got nothing on the girls who struggle onward with zits and bad dates, the girls who fight life every step of the way so by the time they're twenty they're funny and smart and cynical and utterly, utterly desirable.
That's what I like.
Man, I got this message over a month ago and I still don’t know how to respond to it. Thank you, broski. I appreciate not being called shallow, and I consciously try to combat any of those unsavory qualities. It’s really easy for anyone to be born with whatever advantage - whether it’s wealth, cultivating their wit by being born into a family of intellectuals, or whatever, and to coast off of that is essentially a given, butI respect people that willingly decide to not let shit that they never even worked for to be the defining part of their personalities. There’s a strong and stubborn streak of independence there that I appreciate. I also think “”“”suffering”“”“, as it were, really gives way to life experience and deepens the mind to the point where you can’t be this irreverent idiot taking advantage of everything and everyone and it generally gives a solemness to the spirit that’s also respectable. I don’t know man. I can’t take compliments well at all but thanks homie.
