That Feeling

Let's do a not so serious post.

Have you ever felt like no one understands you? That no can really feel your pain?

Well, that's how I've felt in the past couple of days. From the outside, I look perfectly fine. I'm walking like normal and I'm smiling like my usual self (I think).

You may hear that something is different when I speak though. I'm mumbling! I may be speaking to you farther than usual as well.

Every gulp of water is painful. Don't even ask about eating; I'm eating at half my normal speed to spread out the agony. What's even worse is trying to clean smaller pieces from my teeth.

But I know most people have probably been through something similar. I bit my tongue and got an aphthous ulcer, or more commonly known as a canker sore. Any moment of my tongue seems to cause discomfort; is the worst when it's exposed to a "new" environment, particularly air and spicy foods. It's not really something you think about unless you get one, but anyone else could have one without you even knowing.

I'll never appreciate drinking and eating without pain more than today.

So I guess the lesson is to give people a break even if they look fine. You never know what they are going through.
