What was the best compliment you’ve received?
The best compliment I ever received didnāt come from a teacher, a crush, or even my parentsā¦
It came from my friend⦠while I was eating.
Yes. Eating.
I was seriously focusedārice in one hand, chicken in the other, not talking to anybody, just minding my business like a professional foodie.
Then my friend looked at me and said:
“Youāre the only person I know that eats like this and still looks good.”
I paused.
Mid-bite.
Because first of all⦠what does āeats like thisā mean?? ļ
Second of all⦠are you saying I eat like a wild animal?? 
But at the same time⦠āstill looks goodā???
So I didnāt even know whether to fight or to say thank you.
In the end, I just nodded and continued eatingā¦
Because priorities.
And honestly, till today, I still donāt know if that was a compliment or an insultābut I accepted it with full confidence
