Two words have never scared me so stupid before... "the dentist". Years ago, I once had a cavity removed and it was the most traumatizing thing at the time. The sound of the little hammer on my tooth literally terrified me from going to the dentist ever again.
You figure, if I brush and floss there should be no problems. NOT TRUE!
I walked into the dentist today, unsure what to expect... but my dentist was absolutely wonderful.
I explained that I had a serious phobia and she just smiled and said "I'm not sure what to tell you, we have great staff and we will absolutely make you as comfortable as possible".
So tomorrow, I get 2 teeth taken out which will involve surgery because my teeth are not fully out, and I will be a tad sedated.... wish me luck, hopefully my true wisdom stays intact in light of my loss of teeth.
Cheers!

Regrettable Words.
Good Evening;
Today was an interesting day for me. Unfortunately it was a day where a great deal of negative words and negative thoughts were exchanged. Sometimes I find my mouth travels faster than my brain, and I end up sitting back and gawking at the word vomit that has just come from my mouth. Did I really say that? Do I really mean it?.
Most of the times when I say mean things, it's because to me that's the only way I know how to deal with certain things/people. I have spent many nights lying awake thinking of how I can get out of this nasty habit of mine. Thinking before I speak sounds like the first logical answer, but I have serious trouble with this.
While I know I am writing to myself, and that no one is really reading my blog, I still feel the need to post.. in hopes that someone can give me some of the answers that I search for.
I think for now, I am going to set a goal and try to say more positives than negatives every day, I think that will be a great start... here we go.

Welcome to my blog!
Good Evening!
So this is my official blog, how exciting!.
This is going to be a blog of my deepest thoughts, and my feelings on certain topics. I hope that when and if people read this blog that they will find things out about not only myself, but about themselves in the process.
So here is my first official entry on my blog:
Do you ever find that you put yourself in bad situations, even though your doing it with the best intentions?
This seems to be my issue, I almost feel obligated to help someone when they appear to be in need of assistance. Now I'm not talking about helping an elderly woman cross the street, instead this is about friends who just can't be helped.I always find myself going the extra mile to make someone feel better which isn't always a bad thing, but it can sometimes get me into quite a bit of trouble.
Let me say also that I am currently in college, enrolled in a Justice Studies program and my goal is to work with youth in need after I graduate. So really, I need to be a good listener and need to be able to give some advice if I'm going to work with these kids. I am just having trouble trying to figure out when enough is enough, is there such a thing as too much help?
