-awes at her ability to create a dramatic title-
Apart from a series of horrible events that happened to me today, the real reason for the title is
because my orthodontist made me wear elastics on my braces. Elastics are tiny white rubber bands that you have to put zig-zag on the left and right sides of your mouth on the braces in order to make your mouth close properly -I think. But in fact, they just unable you from speaking clearly cause you can only open your mouth for half a centimeter. >.<
Trying to see the positive side of these horrible little rubbers I realized that it's an awesome excuse for being myself. It is an excuse not to smile all the time, not to laugh at things that aren't worth laughing at and to speak quietly. I love speaking quietly or even not speaking at all, it seems so much more relaxing and peaceful.
I remember when I was in kindergarden and I was terrified of all the other kids because they kept screaming all the time. Then I would just start crying and step out of the classroom. I could sit for hours alone in the corridors just to avoid being in that room full of screaming children. Reading my description now brings a sad image of me in my mind but in fact I was quite happy then. I wish I could do the same thing now. I wish I could just walk out of the class and just sit alone in the corridors without getting in trouble. Yes, I would be a weirdo if I did that... but oh well indifference can be useful sometimes.

Braces are just awful. I had them for about a year to a year and a half, and I didn't even want them in the first place. I honestly can't see what people's obsession with straight teeth are, and especially why they would go through all that trouble just to get them.
ReplyDeleteI know right! Braces are very troublesome and often painful... However, straighter teeth make your smile prettier and a pretty smile can be an advantage. My grandma used to tell me that beauty is worth some pain.. I don't exactly agree with that but it's motivating :)
ReplyDeleteOk, two things:
ReplyDeletea) I just stumbled across your blog and it is awesome.
b)Braces are evil. I've had these retainery things (that I can take out, thank god)for about a year now and they're built so you can't put your teeth together :( but luckily (?) I'm getting braces next week so hopefully they'll be better...*crosses fingers and toes*
Hello :)
ReplyDeleteThank you
Oh my.. i hate braces. But I don't think they are as bad as the retainers..
The elastics however are a torture! I'm getting mine off around Christmas hopefully :)
You're welcome, thank you for replying :)
ReplyDeleteGot the braces and I love them in comparison...and yeah, I think I might be getting elastics at some point :S Thanks for the warning!
