Okay... so, something INCREDIBLY awful/amazing happened today.
I got braces.
I've always had a bit of a 'crooked teeth' problem, so of course I knew it was coming. But today, it happened. I'm not sure how I feel about it, too. I mean, yeah, they hurt and feel uncomfortable and weird, kind of like going to sleepover and coming home with someboy else's clothes. Everything feels not-like-home and you're just itching to rip them clothes off and transfer into your no-place-like-home pajamas. But, unfortunately for me, I can't rip off my braces.
I only got the top set of teeth done, but I will have to get my bottom ones done is 2 or 3 months. The sweet lil dentist didn't really detail it. But for now, I only have the top and it hurts. A lot. Not like a shooting pain, but more like a dull ache that wracks your head into a fit of throbbing migraines.
I had it done in pink and blue, so I guess the only plus there is that they look cute. And they'll make my teeth nice and straight. But they are sooo irritating! My mom keeps assuring me that I'm only in so much pain because it's the first day but it's no reassurance to me.
To top it all off, about two days ago I got a haircut in the shape of a v. I thought it'd look so cute but it turns out my hair too thick for that type of cut and now it looks like a dull, nerdy 'u' shape that I don't like. I used to have naturally straight hair, but now that I have layers it's all over the place and I have to straighten it. Once straightened, it looks acceptable, but I wish it was gorgeous like it used to be. My hair was all my pride back then! And it was so manageable! I can't wait until it grows out, because I've made a pact to myself to never get layers again.
In the meantime, if you ever bump into me, don't be surprised to see that my hair is in a high ponytail. It is the only quick and fast solution to my hair troubles.
Anywho, on a better note I bought absolutely GREAT shampoo & conditioner to make my hair glorious and a moroccan oil to rub through it and make it nice and beautiful. I think if I can make it look and feel soft and healthy, it will look more acceptable.
And maybe I will get used to my new braces. Until next time.
