while i was picking out a can of monster in the grocery store a random cis woman just stood there for a while and then out of nowhere and quietly said something to me. i didn't catch it and turned around and smiled and said "va?" (pardon?) and she tilted her head and shyly said "you are very beautiful"
andβ¦ me being me, i gave my usual half-embarrassed little girl smile (fits me a lot better these days hahaha), said "thanks" and turned back to what i was doing (because i am INTENSE and you can't derail me very easilyβ¦ or at all really) andβ¦ hey actually what just happened??? π΅βπ«
