:) Happy background!

Wow, Tristan!
I am wondering why this is over-looked!? I'm thinking people are seeing surface deep and not below it. SAD. Sad because this is awesome. Glad you found it. Even more happy you shared it. In a restaraunt last week, my 5 year old daughter needed me to take her to the restroom..and on the way, her eyes locked in on a very pretty teenaged girl. I asked her quietly, why was she staring...and she told me the girl is beautiful, like "Aquamarine" the mermaid { a movie I took her to}. I said: "Then tell her"....and she looked at me kind of nervous, but I nodded and said: trust me..you should tell her.
She stopped at the table { a party of 6}, and quietly told the girl she is pretty like Aquamarine, the mermaid...then shyly grabbed my hand and we kept walking to the restrooms. But behind us I could hear the girl saying Oh my God, how sweet! and her parents and whomever were oohing and ahhing over it.
Long story short: later as my family left, we passed them again...and the shyish teenage girl's eyes had a sparkle...and she waved at my Noelle and mouthed the words "thank you". I could go on and on about a similar story when I was 14 and felt like I was not pretty, not nice enough clothes, etc-etc, and one old lady passing by mumbled aloud to herself after we'd exchanged hello's "That child is so pretty"....
It was unexpected but powerful..{ I was so shy and never thought I was remotely cute}...and her words stay with me always. I believe people are too scared to be nice to each other. Sometimes too vain to notice beauty in others.
{ sorry about the psycho-babble, but insomnia does this to me} :)
Your work here....very well done. A keeper. I hope other people will see it and realize how important it is. :) Best wishes, Terri
