One Down. Two to Go.

I took out my tongue ring last night.

I'm still not really sure why, just seemed like the right time. I've had it since I was 16, a good long 7 years this January, and I just didn't want it anymore.

Every time I took it out before, it felt so weird I had to put it back in, but this time, I feel like I'm whole again, or at least that part of me.

I've read that people who get a lot of piercings do it as an external statement of the pain they have inside, so maybe that particular pain is gone now.

Ohmyhotgeebus.

I got my tongue pierced about 7 months after I lost my baby.

Now I have my baby back.

That was quite a realization there, I'm going to need to cut this short for some processing time. Suffice to say, I still have my nose and navel done. But I'm under the impression those were purely aesthetic. I got them done before my life turned to shit, and I think I'll hang on to them for a while longer.
