Bye Bye Braces: an ode



May the 4th of 2015 is the saddest day that has ever been, for today I bid farewell to the finest festoon I have ever seen. 

Goodbye sweet braces, my grill, my bae. I can't believe you will be gone in less than a day.

We have been through sexy moments. We have been through traumas. We have shared laughs. You were there for me when I became a mama. 


You helped me eat my first Dodger Dog. With you, I've jumped over hurdles. You were my plus one at weddings. You helped me breeze though an epidural. 

I love you braces. I'll miss your blisters, I'll miss you being the topic of awkward conversations, and the cat calls we've received by black misters.   

But, mostly I'll miss feeling special because of you. You heightened my personality. With you as my side man my witticism was rarely blue.

It's only been two years, but it feels like five. Although, I have been wondering what it's like to bite into a burrito without food sticking to my teeth. Maybe that will make me feel more alive?

You are a part of me and without me you don't exist. It will be hard to say goodbye to you, for you will be dearly missed. 

It's Cinco De Mayo tomorrow so let's pour the tequila. It's a mere coincidence that tomorrow you will find me at my local taqueria.

  1. Congrats on losing your braces. In my mind you've had them for at least 5-7 years.
