10 Things I like About Myself
Before we decided to get married, my partner asked me, “What are ten things you like about yourself?” I had to think hard because I am humble, and it is difficult for me to think about myself that way. Ask me about other people I know, and I will be able to give you the list of ten things I like about them and perhaps at least twenty things I don’t like about them, in no time. However, when it comes to myself, it is a strenuous mental exercise. Nevertheless, I will give it a try before our big day, just to show my partner how strongly committed I am.

Specifically, KSSE have longer biological life and virtually do not age or form wrinkles.
