On the first day, God created the navy blue blazer with brass buttons and khakis. And I looked and saw that it was not good. On the second day, He made the ill-fitting all-black suit.

The hunt for my bar mitzvah suit was failing miserably.

In my 20s, I used to cry about why I wasn't thinner or prettier - but I want to add that I also used to cry about things like: 'I wish my hair would grow faster. I wish I had different shoes’…I was an idiot...It's a decade of tears.
