You've said "I don't do sandals" so many times you've almost started to believe it.
You've sat out the pedicures with your friends. Or you went once, and the nail tech took one look and quietly said there wasn't much she could do.
You've made the excuses for years. At some point the anger faded and you just quietly accepted that this was simply your life now.
You've done the vinegar soaks. The tea tree oil. The Vicks. The laser. Maybe even the prescriptions. Nothing held. And every time one of them failed, you turned the blame on yourself.
But you were never the problem.
The treatments were.
