A girlfriend challenged me to name one thing that you like about myself. I giggled with embarrassment because even if you have an answer, would you tell anyone without sounding vain! To ease the pain, she suggested it could be a physical or personality attribute. Um ok! This exercise I should state was given so I can start thinking more about myself than about others. Mothers out there, beware, this is a trap one easily falls into.
One could say, my smile, but that would be an obvious choice and frankly quite boring. Another is perseverance suggested by my dear aunt, the Great Dane. Ah, the "persistent determination to adhere to a course of action", according to Wikipedia is a dead ringer for my personality. But I'm going to go with my "naivete". Those who know me well would say that if you catch me in the right moment, you'll be surprised when I show it, albeit the strong, confident persona that I give. Maybe it a sign of weakness, but I feel more human when moments erupt showing my lack of experience or I am simply guillible. It's the part of myself that I want to open up more, I guess that would evolve into being vulnerable. But I like feeling this way, not have my guard up so much and be "real"!

And your naivete? Definitely. :)
