I spent twenty years feeling ashamed about my very crooked teeth. I told myself that it didn't matter, that it wasn't a problem, but I was very self-conscious of it. People used to give me shit for not smiling in photos, but it was because I hated the way my teeth looked. Then in my late 30s, I finally just gave up and got braces. 18 months later, they came off, and now I love the way my teeth look. I have a huge smile in all my photos.

So yeah, accept the things that you need to in life. But it's also OK to avoid needless suffering.
