This is marginally related but in case anyone else doesn’t know: dental procedures are not supposed to hurt.

I grew up terrified of dentists and ended up not going for nearly 10 years because of the fear/pain. I finally gave in when a tooth broke in half. The dentist I went to gave me the regular amount of numbing stuff and about 5 mins in saw in my face how much pain I was in and from then on she always gave me extra. I just have a high tolerance for the stuff and had never been receiving enough.

Spanish is my first language and one of the most embarrassing moments of my life was asking two people if they were speaking Portuguese and they said no, Spanish.

Which would be okay because we all have different accents… But we were from the same country.

Life is inherently deeply unserious and we need to start acting like it. Wear what you want.
