Yesterday I got my wisdom teeth yanked out.
I’ve never had the “happy gas” before at the dentist, and wow…I think they were trying to relax me, asking my where I’m from etc.
“Chelsea..” The dentist mused “That’s a great name, One of those names that used to not be a girls name, but now it is. And its lovely”
The assistant chimed in “Like Madison! They are places, but now they are names!”
I was half numb and stoned but blurted with out thinking “Chelsea means place by a river with glass deposits!”
They both laughed.
“Glassy river huh?”
"Not fun to swim.”
“Well try to relax, you are doing great, our river with glass…”
Then I passed out
Now I keep thinking about it. I always thought my name meaning was so lame, just a place description. But is it a metaphor?
A river, always moving, full of life but… below the surface its sharp. The rushing water belies the valuable and dangerous deposits underneath.
Now, I like my name meaning J
