the first compliment that landed differently...

at our second ever club night a man told me i was beautiful and i sort of brushed it off like i would in vanilla life. then about an hour later his wife said the same thing, looked me in the eye and meant it, and i nearly burst into tears in the bar. i hadnt felt seen like that in years. its 13 months later and i still think about it. what compliment in your first year landed in a way you werent expecting, and what did it teach you about yourself...
