we all go looking for paradise, then we go back home
there's been a click to my jaw as long as i can remember, and the dentist tells me every single visit that i shouldn't play with it. mostly i don't. i have been clenching/grinding my teeth for the last few months, though, because it's soothing. for two days i've had obnoxious pain in/around my left mandibular joint (more obnoxious even than this sentence). i'm sure the solution's to force myself away from the grinding, but until this i hadn't noticed how much i do it, or why, and i worry that if i manage not to clench anymore the number of strangers i slap each day will rise from zero to sore hand.
