I threw away my retainer on accident, It was on my lunch tray while I was enjoying Pizza day at school, I cant tell you how freeing it was, not to feel that smooth plastic support on the roof of my mouth, oh how care free I was, I smiled and smiled knowing that I didnt have to worry about that thin piece of metal giving me away to all the upper classmen, that my teeth were not perfect, unlike there's. Needless to say as soon as I got home my mother asked where it was, I was obligated to tell her, she was not very happy, She took me to the dentist the next day and I got a replacemnt one ordered, it took a week, and for that week I tasted freedom like I had never had, a freedom that I wouldnt taste again untill well past my senior year of high school...
How many times to we feel like we are tied to something, this something is supposed to help us, be the best thing for us, healthy, right... but when you step away from that thing, what ever it maybe (religion in my case)you feel free... but you dont really understand the damage that you are causing, much like the week without my retainer, when I put it back in a week later it was tight, uncomfartable and painfull... caused more harm then good... sure it felt good to walk away from it for a while, but in the end it cause more harm then good...
this is my life right now, I walked away from my true love, my true calling, my true gift, and now that I am coming back, it is uncomfortable, painfull, I have caused more harm then good...
its intersting how things come full circle
