Yesterday TheBF told me that he loves how I think and that I'm so introspective. The day before I was complimented on a hat I wore. The day before that I was given a compliment about my dancing skill by the instructor of a class I took. These were all very small ego strokes, but I'm at a low ebb lately and they all felt really nice. I imagine that if they didn't mean anything to me, maybe I wouldn't have even noticed them.
