Yesterday I went out and got a new piercing. Nothing fancy, just in my ear. I've owed myself a new one for almost a year now, but my industrial was being a little bitch and refused to heal properly, but since that's now healed up I took the plunge for a new one.
I have meaning behind my piercings, and this one is no different.
It's to help me fight the Monsters, and it's there to remind me that I can do scary things by myself, and that I'm strong and capable. It's also there to remind me I'm not being abandoned, that I'm loved, and wanted.
This is my 6th piercing (or 5th depending on how you score the industrial). I like to think it's rather symbollic that this was the easiest to get done so far: it hurt the least and I didn't even come close to throwing up.
Its great that you have real meaning behind each one and that they remind you of your strengths when your feeling blue
ReplyDeleteand its even better that you see that you are much stronger than you sometimes believe
we all need little reminders now and then
