I was homeless for around 1-2 years. I was literally sleeping on the sidewalk. One day I was wearing a sign that said “free compliments *tips accepted”. A woman stopped, asked for a compliment, I thought for a minute while staring at her and said “you have kind eyes and you feel like someone I can trust with my life.” I think she was expecting something like “you’re hot” or whatever but it surprised her and she gave me 10$. I don’t give superficial compliments. That’s why I thought about it and read her b4 I gave it. But anyway, that 10$ bought me lunch, dinner, and breakfast the next day. I wish I knew how to contact her to tell her how gracious that was and how much it meant to me.
if you happen to see this kind lady….. I’m forever grateful.
Keith.
