I didn't go to the dentist for – not because I did not want to go, but because going to the dentist just wasn’t something I thought I had to do (unless I had a problem), and even when I was curious about going, my lack of insurance hindered me. Eventually, I did go, and it was not out of curiosity, but because my teeth had suddenly developed an aversion to anything that was warm or cold. They (my teeth) especially hated it when I dared to switch from one temperature to the other – like ice Read More
Do You. Always.
Do you. Among my favorite words, these two are definitely high up there. As I get older and more mature, I am learning more and more how important it is for me to do me. Do what works for me.
