I NOW HAVE TWO PAIRS OF EAR PIERCING.
I know that it wasn't really allowed at school.
Oh well.
It started one day when I had this realization, something big and really metaphorical, and I wanted to have a remembrance about it.
I know that I could have bought a ring, or something like that.
But there's something about piercings and tattoos.
It makes me feel free about my body and choices.
And it makes me feel happy to be confident about a choice that I couldn't just take back too easily.
Some of my classmates were really shocked about it though, they were talking about rules and such. I remember this classmate saying, "My parents would kill me if I did that."
So I asked my mom why she let me do so. And she replied, "It wasn't like your grades would affect your studies. It wasn't like you'd hurt anyone either. That's cool."
I love mah mommy.
