A love letter to my teeth

For many of us, the idea of smiling for a photo is second nature. But to be honest, I haven’t always been a fan of the process. For many years I would drink a pot of coffee a day and chain smoke cigarettes. I should have been reading through a crest 3d white strips luxe review at the time, but I didn’t. I just got worse with my smoking habit. Not to mention acidic foods, red wine, and all the other stuff that makes life amazing but takes its toll on my pearly whites. It then came as no surprise to find out that anyone who was going through what I was experiencing opted to look into finding the right treatment through Dentist Endicott. You don’t think about it, but your smile makes such a massive difference to your overall appearance and when it’s not a good feeling when you’re always feeling self-conscious about it.

Since I was a little kid, one of my favorite things to do is spend time outside. When the time came for a family vacation, there was no other place to be but the amazing beaches of Acapulco! In its warm deep blue waters, I learned to swim and embrace the sea as my second home. So it only makes sense that 3 years ago I moved from Mexico City to the sunny Playa del Carmen, one of the most beautiful places of the Mexican Caribbean where I can go to the beach at least once a week… cool right?

What happens when it all feels like too much?

I’ve been mulling over the idea of writing this blog post for quite some time now. For some reason, I think that a lot of us believe that admitting we are overwhelmed and in need of help is a form of weakness. On the other hand, I have always considered myself an expressive person. So in hiding my anxiety, have I in fact been making things worse for myself? I do not claim to be an expert on mental health, so the following post is based upon my personal experiences in the past few months. What I can only hope is that I add to the greater conversation around mental health and what it means to be someone who is suffering with something bigger than just another bad day.
