Beauty is pain

Bullshit!
As I type this, I am in serious pain. My gums hurt. My teeth hurt. I can't eat the foods I enjoy. This is is awful. Why am I experiencing such discomfort you might ask.. Well, I decided to get braces. As many already know, when one gets braces, teeth need to be pulled. I had all 4 teeth pulled while my brackets and wires were already in my mouth. This is a serious adjustment. I have left work early more times than I would like to due to the unpleasant feeling in my mouth. My nerves don't get a break. While I try to comfort myself in my own way, I was told "beauty is pain". That stupid saying pisses me off. It goes against my very core belief. Beauty is natural. Beauty is not pain! Beauty is ordinary. Beauty is regular. Beauty is everything in everyone just as it is. Change is pain. Shifting from what is to what you want it to be is pain. Desiring what isn't, is pain. Even after my teeth are straighten, filed perfectly, and whitened, who is to say that I'll meet some beauty standard. I was beautiful before! Right? The truth is, insecurity is pain. So I deal with this "bullshit" so that I can achieve some sort of self acceptance. Just like she slices and dices, nips and tucks, and he breaks and replaces, we gain the pain for self acceptance.
