whether they’re friends, crushes, or strangers, I’m going to advise you to look, really look at the people around you.
when you get the chance, try and see every fleck of color in the iris of someone’s eye, and how they light up when their favorite things are mentioned. pay attention to their mannerisms, how they look when they try to stifle a laugh, when they finally understand something difficult that took them ages, or when they’re given a compliment.
don’t forget all the little mannerisms, they can remind you of just how intricately made every other person is— how they run a hand through their hair when they’re nervous or embarrased, or how their gaze flicks away somewhere else while they think mid-conversation.
remember how their words fall together as they speak, and how their voices go up and down in such funny little melodies.
pay attention to people, more than necessary. you’re going to find a lot more beauty just about everywhere.
