Please explain to me what great hand I was dealt.
Did you spend half your teenage years in an iron lung ? Did you have to work to support your parents ? Did you have to raise your siblings ? Did you have to flee your home with nothing but the clothes on your back ? Do you have scares from being abused ? The list goes on ! Yea tell me about that bad hand you were dealt. I say you were dealt a mediocre hand but played it well.
