Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?
I have this little thing in my life called a boyfriend and he, as all his male peers, sometimes knows what to say and he says it at the right time. This is going to be a whole story because I have to explain how we came from point A to point B.
Since last year I got this obsession with fixing my lower teeth. I have 4 of them which are not completely straight and it started bothering me. The rest of them and especially my upper teeth are perfectly straight thanks to the retainer I wore for little over a year when I was a teenager, but those four bottom teeth just never got straight and it was very much my orthodontist’s fault.
I decided to take some time to figure out if this is just a fleeting hyper fixation or a real thing and then when I continued being obsessed with it in 2025, I decided to go and see an orthodontist about fixing them and putting in a retainer. I had money in my savings to pay for it because I am under the age of 18 so it isn’t free for me anymore. Money was not an issue and time was not an issue. I was ready to wear it for however long it took for my teeth to be perfect. But there was one line I was not willing to cross and that was putting a retainer on my upper jaw as well and that is exactly what the doctor asked for and I immediately said no. It seems that, because of how my jaw is, I would first have to push out my upper teeth, separate them so that the lower ones would have space to move around and then my lower teeth would have to be pushed in a bit to return the upper ones to their original position. Just no.
So I went crying to my boyfriend that I wouldn’t be able to fix my teeth and then he comforted me and told me that it’s not even that visible and that I am pretty no matter what and that made me blush and feel all giddy inside. Outside of being all cute, it’s very easy to make me feel loved. You just need to scratch my back and give me attention. Having me is like having a cat.
