Impossible Odds

[Iceglow]

when my jaw got shattered I was left with no confidence and no one thought I would pick myself up again. People used to take the piss when I went out and for many months I didn't. Everyone for a while myself included thought I would stop living my life properly. But against the odds I found myself back out there and turning my shattered jaw in to a positive thing, about the best I can do.


Edit Now for the clarified one that Martyr asked for.

My upper jaw got shattered and I lost both the upper front teeth, I almost lost the 4 upper front teeth but the two to either side managed to recover with the jaw.

As a direct result of this I went from happily going and enjoying myself at weekends and on week nights to a person who had zero confidence. Confidence had been one of my biggest assests, it had kept me going when I had nothing else going for me. To lose my confidence was scary, I wouldn't even speak after the injury where as as before I was a chatter-box.

I got a lot of hassle from people when I went out, I got called names and it hurt, other people would sing songs such as "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" and stuff I got really down about it and completely stopped leaving the house for a few weeks, my college were sending work over for me to do and I was seemingly happy never stepping foot outside my door.

Everyone thought that was it, that I had stopped being me and become this total introvert who wouldn't leave home except for the numerous dental appointments to make sure it was healing well.

After they could finally take moulds and give me a plate to wear I was no better, sure I could eat and stuff but I had settled in to this sheltered little life at home.

I managed to beat those feelings and as I am sure anyone on here who has spoken to me will tell you I am more of a chatter-box than ever and I have confidence by the bucket load.

now does it make sense?
