They made me hate everything about myself, every day. I don't know, maybe it'd be cool to say something nice about someone's differences instead of making them feel like an unwelcome gremlin. And my food smelled awesome, screw you.https://twitter.com/amisometimes/status/1306716892019609600?s=19 …

Ami 💖 💛 💙 @amisometimesReplying to @seriouslyclaraI remember wishing to have blue eyes and golden blonde hair and wishing my family was "normal" and ate sandwiches and cereal and pasta noodles. I cried because I thought I needed to have lunchables to fit in at school so the other kids wouldn't call my food smelly or disgusting.6 replies 0 retweets 46 likesShow this thread
I'm so sorry you and so many other people had this experience. In the schools I went to, those lunches were the envy of all the kids. I felt blessed to have wonderful friends that shared their tables and cultures with me. Sending love and hugs to your mega cool past selves
