People are posting what they hated and now love about themselves and it’s super heartwarming

This is so lovely.

We all have things we disliked when we were younger. Maybe our freckles. Our curls. Our family's financial circumstances. Our neighbourhood. There are a number of things. However, now Twitter is rallying together to show that what we might not have liked when we were younger, has made us better or stronger now. Ashley Ford wrote on Twitter:

What's something you hated about yourself as a kid or teenager that you now consider a strength?

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.

My mother used to make fun of my loud laugh. Now my friends say it is their favorite.

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.

I’m tall. It made dating and buying pants awful, but now I can reach shit on the top shelf and that’s pretty great.

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.
