My younger cousin also has braces, and they once shared their struggles with me. I even saw firsthand how difficult it was for them to eat during their first few days. Back then, I used to wish I could experience having braces too — but my teeth were perfectly fine, so I didn’t need to follow the trend among my cousins. Ironically, now I’m the one with a teeth condition, and we’re sharing the same soft-food diet. It’s been a hellish month for me, honestly. But hey, you’ll get back to normal soon — and I’m reminding myself of that too.
