Being Cute Posted by Hannah on March 23rd, 2010

When I was younger, I was never told I was anything in terms of appearance but weird or even ugly. I was never “cute.” My mom never squished me saying, “I love you! You’re so adorable!” No one ever noticed me. I was literally in the shadows.

Now that I’m older, I’m amazed to find how many notice me.

Recently, “cute” has been the compliment I receive almost daily. My boss, my mom, my old friends, new friends, random people I’ve just met. I’m cute. And I can’t begin to describe how happy that makes me. :)

I was massively caught off guard recently by two people by being called cute. It’s amazing how one word can have a completely different connotation between two people.

The first has become a recent and wonderful friend of mine. He told me I was too cute to be intimidating and that, if he were to run into me in a dark alley with a gun, he’d probably hug me and say, “You’re so cute!!!” He also told me I was the type of person that would never have to worry about being attacked by someone as others would see me, think I was adorable and innocent and would immediately stand up for me. Oddly, all of that made me feel so happy and loved. More than anything, it made me feel special.

Weirdly enough, that same night, I was hit on by a guy I had literally just met. That has absolutely never happened to me. “I like your curly hair!” “Eh. It’s…” “A pain? A lot of my curly haired friends tell me they’d prefer straight hair, but I love curls.” “I grew my hair long because I love them too. I also like red hair,” he said looking at me smiling. “Hah, yea, I love having red hair.” “Is it natural?” “Not so much. My hair’s a little darker than this.” “Oh, but it’s really pretty. You look really cute.”

I melted. I wasn’t attracted to him in the very least, but I melted.

My ex used to tell me that my cuteness made me sexy. I’m confidant. I’m funny and adorable, according to those around me, and I love that about myself.

I don’t know of a lot of people that would appreciate that comment as much as me, but when someone tells me I’m cute, I just end up with smiles for the next week. It makes me too happy to even express some times. :)
