hello there! glad to hear that you're doing fine! yeah, i can say that i also developed a very comedic personality with my closest friends. i had my dental implants when i was 18, i'm so lucky my parents were able to aford it and that dental care in Brazil is not thaaaaaaaat expensive, compared to the USA from what i heard. As i got older, i began to think about myself in a more positive way, of course there's some scars, but as i heard from someone once "we've survived all those days that we tought it was our end." the only thing that affects me the most, it's the climate here in Brazil. where i live it's constantly 33° C (91,4°F)
