Iām 50 years old, and Iām only just learning how to smile.
Not the closed-mouth polite kind Iāve mastered for decades⦠but a real smile. A teeth-baring, soul-offering, unapologetic smile!
Itās not that I havenāt known joy.
Iāve laughed, loved, and certainly livedā¦but never with my whole face.
Because behind every moment of happiness, thereās been a shadow:
a deep, lifelong loathing for my teeth.
Iāve hated them. Detested them. Yellowed, bucked, broken from years of illness and meds⦠they werenāt just a cosmetic flaw, they were the gatekeepers of my confidence.
And so I hid.
A full smile? Unthinkable.
āresting bitch faceā?
Misunderstood my ENTIRE adult life.
I wasnāt coldā¦I was caged. Anxious. Afraid of the judgment that might follow if I dared to show my joy.
This last year has been brutal.
Thirteen teeth removedā¦
the aftermath of medications, infections, years of chronic illness taking its quiet toll.
But now, at long last⦠the work is done. The healing has begun.
And soā¦.
I can smile.
And I will.
Not just because I can,
but because after all this time,
I finally believe I deserve to.
