Talking Nice

My daughter goes to hair design school. She was telling me about two girls at her school who have started doing something they hope will become a thing for other people and it's talking nice behind people's backs.

One of the days that the students were doing scalp treatments on each other, they just kept saying things about other people and all of it was nice. "Do you know so-and-so? She's one of the funniest people I've ever met! She can make anything seem funny!" "Can you even believe so-and-so? He's getting the best grades in college and he has really hard classes!" and they go on and on mentioning new people and good things about every single one of them. One day, they were scrolling through Instagram and commenting on one person's account, saying they can't believe how good every single picture had turned out and they were pointing out everything they liked about all of the posts and it turned out to be another student who noticed they were looking at her Instagram. They were a little shy about getting caught because they didn't know she was around but then there's nothing to be embarrassed about because they only said good things and it makes that girl like them even more for their kindness.

I just wanted to write about this while it's on my mind because I think it puts much good into the world. What a great idea!
