Not my note.

It's so easy to rip people down. Pump someone's tires. It means way more than you can imagine.

I think I would remember this for 5 years if it happened to me, which means I should do it to others

Absolutely. And I'd remember it forever.

I once had someone tell me on discord that they stopped cutting themselves because of me just being nice to them, when they had trouble making any friends. I'll never forget that.

Like 10 years ago I had a stranger come up to us in a restaurant and compliment how well behaved our kids were and I still remember it.

Make sure you confuse them though, give notes calling old grannies great fathers and fathers letters about the joy of child birth.

Yes, many don't know this but you can give out appreciation and compliment for free.
