Lmao you can say that last part again! I have had some work done and my friends always comment on how it’s unclockable. I tell them - If you want to do it, save up your coins, do your research and do it right!

Watched the whole thing in the thing I’m most sad about is that you said you stopped smoking weed 😭

My dad asked (and gently pushed) for me to get teeth whitening. I not so gently told him to stop. My dentist said healthy teeth are not naturally white BUT the procedure is free. "It's free so take it" has been a bigger internal issue in my life than most others. Also, I'm black living in japan, meaning I will always be Other, always outside the Standard. I take solace in the fact I don't have to run that race. But, I'm running other races.

i actually prefer when people don't have perfect teeth (if it doesn't affect their oral health). i have a "gummy smile" and thought about getting a surgery in my early 20's to "correct" it - but i came to the realization that my current smile is literally part of who i am and i really just wanted to embrace it. it took a bit of time, but now i have no problem smiling in photos... even if my gums are showing!
