I was having a horrible day. You know, the day you wake up late, don’t have time for breakfast, miss your bus, your hair’s a mess and you’re late for wok (and that’s just the first hour). We all get those days. My day was getting seemingly worse. But on to 2 separate occasions 2 women went out of their way to tell me I have beautiful eyes. 1 even attempted to argue I wore contacts. That made me laugh. It made me feel better about myself. And made my day a little brighter. I got some much needed smiles that day and I thank you guys for it. —Green Eyes
