That our family was poor. I now know how to fix things around the house, stretch a dollar, cook delicious meals from leftovers, and appreciate the little things in life.

My sensitivity and how I cry every day. I always wished for thicker skin. Now I know that my being sensitive is a guide to navigate situations that may not be good for me, and crying releases tension and pent up emotions.

Growing up my parents insisted we spend summers in India with our extended family. I hated missing out on time with friends, camp etc. But now I’m grateful for the culture I was exposed to & my close relationships with my cousins.

Making people pronounce my name right. I used to hate doing it but now I’m that diddy meme staring people down till they say it right.

My legs. I have massive, muscular calves and thighs, and boys my age would tell me they wished they had legs like that, and I hated them until I was an adult and one of my friends told me I had “superhero calves”. Now I’m a weightlifter and I love having big legs.
