Day Seventy Four: Eyelashes


I have pretty eyelashes.
This is not actually something I can see myself, but I have been told several times that I have very pretty eyelashes. Because they are on my eyes and because I don’t really pay that much attention when I look in the mirror, I can neither confirm nor deny that my eyelashes are pretty.


But what I would like to say on this point is that sometimes I can be very bad at taking compliments. We all can. I don’t know why, but it seems to be habit for us that when someone says “You have nice eyelashes” for us to immediately backtrack and do the whole “Oh stop it” bullshit. Sometimes you just need to smile and nod and feel good about yourself because, damn it, you do have nice eyelashes!


It’s important to remember that we should love even the smallest things about ourselves. That’s why I have decided that I love my eyelashes, especially when Madison compliments me on them.

Challenge to my Readers:
Humility is nice, but honesty is better. When someone gives a compliment, smile, accept it and give them one back.
