Personal Post: Self-confidence (without teeth)

  It’s hard for people to have confidence these days. I’ve struggled with it myself and sometimes continue to, but I’ve noticed something interesting: focusing on a void doesn’t help you fill that void. If I concentrate on not having confidence, then that’s all I experience – lost of anxiety and lower self-esteem.
  Losing my teeth does mess with me, both mentally and emotionally; but there’s nothing I can do about it so I learn to accept myself as I am. I haven’t changed just because I look different now. In fact, my health has drastically improved since my operations. To be out of pain and free from dangerous infection is a wonderful thing, and now I can look forward to braces (which I never thought I’d be able to wear) and dentures! Blessings really can come in disguise.
