Evangeline Lilly Instagram – Catch the Compliments I have seen a hundred compliments launched lovingly in your direction that you swatted away like flies in summer and I have seen too a handful of hurtful words fired at your fortifications which you immediately allowed through picked up with both hands made a home for in your heart and kept for all time then on days when your heart is sore you reach for those dark words that hurt and press them till they hurt more and the compliments? they floated away on the breeze never to be seen again my friend, I wish, from this day on that you begin to catch those compliments shine them to display on a shelf, in full view and chase those harmful words from your door never to be seen again and so, to begin your collection you are warm, unique, loving and kind the world is so much better with you in it I hope this launches a hundred more.
