I'm writing this post further to the Flash the Flesh Challenge on Saturday, which is all about being happy and confident in yourself. I wanted to do a short post today to tell you this little story which make me laugh about how silly I have been.
I have a gap in my teeth that
I’ve hated all my life, Every smile I’ve ever given has had my tongue
pressed up right against the gap so you couldn’t see it as much. It’s a ridiculous thing to do but I’ve always
done it.
Recently I decided to do a vlog
post, found here. What I immediately
noticed upon watching it back, which had never occurred to me before, is that
the gap is perfectly notable when I talk, so all these years of trying to hide
it have been completely pointless!
I can’t believe that I’ve
actually spent my whole life shoving my tongue behind the gap in my teeth,
without ever realising that it was perfectly visible when I was speaking. What a lunatic I am! It also then of course dawned on me that it
has also been visible to others and I had never had any bad comments about it,
so why the worry and insecurity?
Sometimes the insecurities we have are ones that we force upon ourselves without any interference of society and other people’s opinions.
What have you been insecure about that you have had no need to?
