As a public service to myself and anyone who has to put up with me, I will try to have a positive attitude about this thing I’m putting in my mouth.
Yeah, braces. For the next 9-12 months.
Why? I don’t care about my crooked teeth but I was sold on the health reasons and the fact that my lower teeth are getting more and more cramped and harder and harder to clean (and therefore the source of more and more pain when they need to get cleaned).
I can back out at any time. Plus I never had them as a kid so it’ll help me empathize with my kids when/if they need them? (these are weak rationalizations, Langert)
(plus I had a groupon)
I’m sure they’re going to look cool one way or another. (they look cool, they look cool, they look cool)
(positive thinking)
(chomp)
