Strange Analogies in the World of Chelsea

[qtpiechels]

I put in my retainer after forever and a day, and I thought, "This thing really freakin' hurts! My teeth must have moved a lot." You see I never noticed that my teeth had changed, it was a slow change, but none the less a big one. Then, in one of my infinite moments of wisdom, I thought "My teeth and my retainer represent my New Year's resolution." You see in the journey from the nicer girl that I was years ago to the person that I am now was a (once again) slow, but none the less big change. In order to stay the same person you start as, you need restrictions and boundaries, thus the retainer part, but without these restrictions you are allowing yourself to go free and become as ugly inside as say...crooked teeth (?). If you catch the problems soon enough, you will still fit (snugly) inside the boundaries that you have set for yourself, but if you let the problems within you get out of hand it really freakin' hurts to return to your former self. I had never noticed that I was changing, but once I did, I set boundaries for myself. I guess the point of this post is that not all boundaries and restrictions are bad. Everyone needs boundaries, and God knows this (duh, Chelsea that would be because God knows everything), so He sets boundaries for you. If you stay within His boundaries, you will never have to go through a change that "really freakin' hurts"!

I have decided to end every entry with a wonderful/insightful quote, so here is the 1st one:

"What if the family turned to Jesus, and stopped askin' Oprah what to do?"
