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.
