Frustrated. I come from a middle class family who goes through some hardship but nothing extreme. I am considered a pretty girl, but some nights I go through extreme denial and will stare in the mirror for hours. I'll pluck eyebrow hairs, do facemark treatments, pop any sort of pimple or blackhead I can find, etc.... but then it comes to my teeth and I will start bawling my eyes out. Crooked on the bottom and a gap between my two buck teeth. It hurts. It hurts so damn bad. Who would find a girl with my ugly teeth attractive. I curse my parents in my head for never getting me braces all because my brother's teeth straightened out. I'm not him. Now for the past 8 years (middle school and high school) I have gone through so many episodes of hating my appearance. I could have every other feature of a model but would never get a job because of what hides behind my soft smile. I'm learning to live with what I have, but it doesn't mean I don't hurt.

Girl, I'm in the same position as you. Start to focus your energy on why you'd dislike yourself in the first place. Look at you, look at us. We're stronger than we seem. Those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind. It's not about whether someone would go after you, its about whether you'd go for someone like you. Focus on internal growth. Everything we experience now is temporary. It is what is inside that is forever. If someone doesn't text you back, why would you wanna be with someone like that? They're not worth the energy. You're worthy of love. You're worthy of your own love.
