- no periods
- no chronic illness
- no anxiety
- no real concept of depression
- no heartbreak
- no insecurities
- didn't have to shave!
- no worrying about money
- it was acceptable to be shy
- I never felt worthless or useless or not good enough
- I was the best rather than the worst, the smartest, the first, the most talented, the fastest, near enough everyone was impressed by me
- got compliments rather than insults
- I didn't feel doomed
- life felt fun rather than scary and sad
