Dental Pain & Happiness

Jan 28, 2010 10:12

I love having the Dental Assistants floss my teeth, there's something satisfying about that pain, but the lingering ache of a dental cleaning is just annoying. I do like though how it enervates the nerves of my teeth for a time. Causing me to rub my molars with my fingers feeling their sharp edges and the pressure on my teeth from my finger with a sort of interesting satisfaction.

Driving to work, refreshed form a the most sleep I've had in a week or so and after the dental visit, I had another moment of realization that I was happy again. Happy and myself after almost three and a half years. Happy to be driving by myself. To have companionship without commitment and feel happy instead of a lonesome longing.

I feel younger today. I feel as if I were 17 again, realizing the possiblities before me as I had just graduated high school. Realizing that all the world and the paths I could take extended from this moment. Between then and now, I'd developed tunnel vision, choosing to see only a few limited paths and was short sighted not seeing that they extend forever.

I love these moments and am glad they are returning with more frequency.

happiness, dental pain, possibilities, life
