Your natural six packs flat abs which you develop during your teen years from everyday fetching of water from a deep well which is about half a mile away from your dump. Not to mention your likely tanned skin which results from your everyday stroll back and forth from school while others spend their cash on classy beaches just to bare their skin with the rays of sun. Your long n silky hair, thanks to coconut oil coz you don’t have the means to buy conditioner. Your strong limbs which stemmed from outdoor games you used to play as a child coz you don’t have console games and computers then while others need a high dose of vitamin D and calcium to have strong bones. Your shiny white teeth that doesn’t need to see a dentist every 6 months, they’re perfectly wonderful coz u didn’t indulge on chocolates and sweet treats as a young kid.
