After getting my septum re-pierced last year, I decided I wanted to stretch it. I am currently at 8g and plan to keep going. To me this is empowering.

So I pierced my septum five days ago. I’ve currently got a clear glass 14g plug in it, so as not to been seen.
I am very happy. So far it is only a tad sore when touched and I’ve had no further problems; but really it is only five days old. Hopefully the rest of the healing time will be uneventful, unlike the last.
I know my life will unfold itsself and I know I need to help it, but I want to “just be”. I have no worries though, as my life is well on the way to being successful and I’m merely 15.
I believe humanity gets too caught up in living to let all be as it should. With “just being” I can still be stressed, tense, and anything else life forces upon myself, but I must remember that no matter what I must just exist.
I have actually gotten go good at purely existing.
