An update!

Here is a funny story for you.
When I was little, my teeth was beautiful and straight. It was an perfect set. Perfect for anything related to talking to making a speech. But that was then. Then means before I started to get the new ones. And they came, crooked and isolated. My front tooth has an instinctive dislike towards each other, while the one on the left of the front is subjected to front tooth's influence while the one on the right is a loner. I am not even finished yet. As you zoom out a little. you will also see that I also have the tiger teeth as they call it in China. Just a wonderful set.

Ha, the story does not end there. Though I was still the exciting person I was then, I was reluctant to smile. So I did not. Every time I did, I forced my lip to covered the hideous things, making an almost anguish and awkward face. But I was embarrassed of my teeth. As the days went on, I can not really smile anymore, at least, not like what others did. I did not know how to smile! When I look back now, I remember the silliness of that choice and I would chuckle a little, then reach for sip from my cup of tea.

So it went on, until America. I do not exactly know how I really started to accept my self and reimburse my confidence. I do not know. But it was then that I found out that people did not really care how I looked. As long as I am confident, I am confident in how I look, how I dressed, how I spoke. Then I started to lift up my upper lips more and more and letting more of  my confidence in. God made me this way and I am complaining and rejecting anymore. Though now air can cross my teeth easily, they will love the feel of air running between them. Ah, the freedom and the happiness of trusting your soul!

So, I though that was a funny, sweet story. Please read it with a cup of tea.
