Tonight I took out my industrial cartilage piercing. I got it last November after wanting it since forever. Over the past few weeks I noticed the barbell shifting toward the edge of my ear. I know lots of piercings grow out on their own and I wanted to take it out before there was any major scaring.
I’m sad that it was time to take it out – I really loved having it, but at the same time I see this as an opportunity to make a fresh start and try something new. I spent the past year channeling my inner punk-rock princess, but I think I’m looking forward to channeling my inner athlete/fashionista!
I’ve always been a fan of reinventing myself and this quote comes to mind:“life is not about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.”
