I have two opaque white spots on my two front teeth, which the dentist just says are natural things that happened while my teeth where forming when I was little. I can't really get rid of them, I can just whiten my teeth to try and make them less visible. I smile all the time, but they're a huge insecurity of mine.

The other day, my mom and I were talking and she asked what was on my teeth. I told her I've had them for forever, and she didn't believe it. My own mother, who sees my smile and talks with me almost every day, for years didn't notice one of the biggest insecurities I have about myself.

It made me realize, our insecurities that seem big to us might not even be noticed by other people. So don't get so caught up in them. Smile. Be confident. Have fun. Don't worry about what other people are thinking about it, because odds are they arent thinking about it at all.
