When I was younger, there were things about myself I really didn't like because of the way it made others treat me. But as I got older, I realized what I thought was holding me back also gave me the power to help others.

I guess I feel like even if those things were nothing, but trouble for me, if I can help someone else it somehow makes it worth it.

Sorry. I have a tendency to ramble if left unchecked.
