Like I
mentioned in one of my previous post, Patience comes in many different forms
and ways. It doesn’t always have to pertain to more mental situations you’re
dealing with it can deal with the physical ones too. A physical situation, that
requires patience for me right now, is wearing braces. If you have had braces
you know how annoying they can be; if you haven’t, count yourself lucky. When I
first got my braces on (which was a year and six months ago) my orthodontist
told me that I would probably have then on for two and a half years. I wish
that was still the case but not anymore. I have a really small mouth as it is
so there’s barely enough room for my teeth so wisdom teeth’s growing in wasn’t
even a possibility. So I had to have a surgery to get my wisdom teeth out. And
at the same time as that surgery I had to get a tooth pulled and my impacted
tooth exposed so they can pull it into the right spot. That surgery was nine
months ago and my impacted tooth is still in my gum. So that estimate of two
and a half years is out of the door now, sadly. It’s a tad frustrating because
I wanted them of before graduation but apparently I’m not anymore. Because of
how slowly the impacted tooth is moving it is uncertain to when I will get them
off. But I do count myself privileged to even be able to have them because a
lot of people can’t even afford to get them on in the first place. The only way
that I am even able to have them one is because my orthodontist, Anderson and
Moopen, is paying for me to have them. So I am so grateful to them for that so
being even a little bit frustrated about wearing them for so long wouldn’t even
be fair for me to do. I know this probably isn’t the best of examples but it’s
the one I thought of. So whatever you may be dealing with right now, whether it
is mental or physical, step back and look at all the good things in it. For me,
having straight teeth is my reward for wearing them for so long but along with
that I have been able to meet so many amazing people at my orthodontist that I
probably never would have been able to in the first place. I might be something
small that you’re waiting for but you might as well make the best of it
anyways. Try to find the good in everything, it will make you a happier person
and it will also make you appreciate the small things. There’s no reason to
dwell on the negative it doesn’t get you anywhere anyways.
