my mother.

she was born with missing teeth.

where our canines are is a space and her canines are next to her front teeth.

she went to the dentist today and got her canines removed and replaced with fake ones.

shes getting a fake tooth in each empty hole.

she says shes been saving up for this her whole life.

i was in shock.

in shock.

i thought she knew she was beautiful without tampering with her face.

fuck society.

"nobody takes me seriously with missing teeth" she says.

what the hell...

those holes were just part of my mother.

i actually grew up thinking they were cool and hopeing my teeth wouldnt grow in.

wow.

i'm still in shock.

why does this bug me so much?

i'm glad shes happy, and she deserves this.

it just makes me sad that she needed this.

we all arent supposed to look alike.

shes in loads of pain right now.

we'll see how she looks when they put the falsies in.
