How you see it

                                                Life is what you make it.
This picture inspired this blog post. With the addition of a few fun things to my mouth today, I decided to try and look at it in a positive light: after all, life is what you make it. Pros: you cannot see my braces when I talk (they are only on the top row), I can smile without my teeth and still look normal. Cons: I have to smile really, really big to smile with my teeth, and then you see them. Fail.

The way I put it is that I will be in D.C. this summer with barely anyone I know, so why would they care if I don't smile as much as I usually do - no big deal. They really hurt, so I laid in bed all day and read. I love reading and I am so glad that I have time to do so this summer. Everyday this summer I am going to read. I have a 45 minute ride into the city, so I will take that time to get lost in a good book for a little while. 

I am already to be in D.C. - I am already tired of not being on a set schedule this summer. Sure, I love having free time to do things such as shop, tie-dye, read, knit, run, etc. But I will love summer even more when I have a set schedule where I work, run, and read: everyday. 

Life is what you make it, so make the best of it, as much as you can, everyday. Even if you have a mouth half-full of metal (it does not look as bad as it sounds - I promise)
