Nightmare comes true today

To my dear front teeth, I never want you to go...

I always have a nightmare of falling and breaking my front teeth for many years.

The root reason may be when I was only 7, I broke my front tooth(teeth) when playing on ice with my classmates. I still remember the vivid scene (age 14+) of red blood on the white ice , so scaring...

I'm not good at sports at all, I guess because I don't have a good sense of balance. My friend in University still remember she was always surprised to see me lying on the ground when we were still walking together one second ago. Things become good when I start to ware high heels, I seldom fall down from walking since then.

I still have this nightmare. When I start to learn ice skating, I'm so afraid of falling & break teeth. When I start to learn skiing, I still have the same fear. When I start to learn roller blade, I also have the same fear.

Then I fell from my roller blade and hurt my face/lips/teeth last weekend. Fortunately only one tooth was loose, and no teeth were chipped. I was actually happy with that fall, as I think the nightmare has come true in a harmless way. I don't need to worry about it anymore.

But I fell again from the bike today, which is the last thing I could possibly fall from... I have been so comfortable with a bike for a long time. The front brake is too tight, and I noticed it long time ago but did not pay much attention to. I always think I could avoid the trouble by being careful with the brake, but it seems I cannot always be careful. This time I'm not that lucky, 2 teeth got chipped, and 1 tooth got looser and falls lower, hopefully it can grow back... OK, learned another lesson today...

Anyway, I still need to be more careful in the future. I won't ignore anything that could put myself into danger. I got a full face helmet and I'm going to fix the tight brake tomorrow....
