Thinking about how happy I was as a tiny kid before I started receiving messages from the world about skin color, weight, hair, overall looks etc. Specifically when it comes to my Gap.

I never really paid attention to it before that or saw it as an issue. I always loved smiling. I was a happy kid that cared about people. I didn’t start being self conscious about my Gap until I started getting teased badly for it.

Braces were way too expensive and were never an option. My mom was raising me by herself mostly. Plus I don’t think I even wanted them. My mom wanted them for me. I didn’t really consider them until I was tired of getting teased.

I honestly love my Gap. It’s apart of who I am, but I do get self conscious about it sometimes. Streaming has helped me become more comfortable seeing it on camera. But one thing certain, I’ve ALWAYS laughed a lot and smiled hella BIG.

I realized that I don’t really have a problem with my Gap, other people do and thatson them https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏽‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau (mittlerer Hautton)"> I’m laugh and smile regardless https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinsendes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">
