It's hard to decide: Certain physical features often associated with beauty are too prominent on me. I have a habit of under-describing my best qualities when asked. And I'm too dang humble for my own good.
Humility is about being right sized. A lot of folks take this idea of humility as needing to lessen oneself for the sake of being "humble" when really we should be representing ourselves clearly and as objectively as possible.
That's a wise perspective.
And it feels especially generous as a response to my nonsense. Thanks.
You're fine, glad you got something out of it. It was told to me by someone who helped me through a pivotal time; happy to pass it on.
