Wisdom Teeth
Looking from the side it's not too bad. I looked normal and you wouldn't have guessed that I had two of my wisdom teeth removed.
Why do they call it 'Wisdom Teeth' anyway?
Well, during this accumulation of doing absolutely nothing with my time and residing in some solitude - if you don't include seeing family - has been refreshing. Quite the contrast from last weekend. But if I could just say that in my form of solitude, I yearned for some outside interaction. Well, I did that and what I received was my body screaming for more painkillers. I know most would be embarrassed to go outside in their most weakest and not so flattering state, but it's necessary, I think, to show other sides of yourself to others. Whether it be physical: flashing a nipple or emotional: anything that involves letting yourself be vulnerable. And that my friend is beautiful in every aspect that you can imagine or think of.
I certainly can not convey any emotion within my physical state without feeling the consequences, but I am grateful that I can smile or laugh when I reminisce about it during my normal anatomy. Because the first two days of me resting, I was in complete Terminator 1.0 mode. It was accompanied with no laughing or smiling at all. I recalled that I might have smiled/laughed a little bit, because my sister made fun of me, but never laughed really since the pain was too excruciating.
We really take granted in life of most people, places, and things (that's right, I just gave the definition of a noun - we certainly take advantage of nouns these days). What I have realized in the past few days is that you can never laugh or smile too much. In my weakened state, all I did was keep one face and I think that just made me feel like I wanted to sleep all day, because no chemicals were being created to make me want to stay up via smiling or laughing. Especially of the medication, that just hindered my mood all over. Moreover, I realized that smiling and laughing is somewhat of a privilege. You know that saying that you always hear, "Laugh like no one is listening." I recommend you do that! Do it with your family or close friends - it's a must. It will definitely save your life and it puts things in perspective, because you can laugh anything off. Just stretch something so in dubious that you realize how little and insignificant that thing can be. Warning: don't laugh too much, because too much of anything, even if it's good, can become a bad thing.
