Coping With Brachymetatarsia

I was always a normal kid growing up i felt like normal nothing was wrong with me until i became a teenager did me and my mom notice i was different i had 2 more pinky toes than other normal people.

she took me to the docter and he told me it was normal and there was nothing wrong..but i felt like a freak!
Since then i guess i never seen another docter..my mom asked me if i wanted surgery but i hate surgery stuff..ive never had one before.

While i was still growing ppl would invite me to the beach or to their swimming pool and i never wanted to go not just cuz i was a lil over weight but bcuz of my feet..

In highschool i loved swimming but when it came to doing it i wore watershoes even tho they looked so stupid and ppl thought i was werid i had to hide my feet somehow..

I did Soccer and CrossCountry in school and wouldnt change my socks in front of anybody and we had unexpected pool workouts and i would wear my socks to the pool cuz i had forgot my watershoes..
having weird feet ruined a lot of my highschool fun.

Once my bestfriends found out about my feet they were ok with it, they didnt act any different about it. I started wearing sandals around them cuz i always wanted to wear sandals, and after a while i was ok with it, now a days you will always see me with sandals and when ppl look down at my feet i laugh and look at them cuz i know there looking at times i do get ashamed of them trust me..

but its different, and if people wanna judge just let them they will get judged later in life as well..dont be ashamed of your toes

People please im asking you dont be ashamed theres probably more of us then we think just let them out youll feel better about yourselves..
