"A great part of my individuality."
How I did it: I got two of them after my brakeup. It was a seven months long relationship during freshmen year in college. It ended in february and it was VERY difficult for me because he was my first real love and we practically lived together. So, one morning I decided that in order for my emotional status to change, I had to change. Believe it or not, every new thing in your life makes you feel better.
I rearranged the furniture in my bedroom, I bought new clothes, I transfered to another University (I hated the other one, I went there to be with... Him...) and many other things, but, there is something that is very important to change, which is physical appearence, when life puts you in a situation like this. It is important to see something different when you look in the mirror because you want to become a better, self confident, STRONGER, smarter person because you want to get out of that black hole of depression.
So, In stead of choosing a new hair color or a new haircut, I chose piercings!!. I got the second bottom piercings on my ears and one of the cartilage piercings.
It did build up a new shield in my emotions because I started feeling like a new person when I looked in the mirror and also a more unique one. Because of that, I started feeling like an individual again, because I was unattatching myself from my feelings towards him by becomming a different me. :)
Four days ago I got the rest of them just because I wanted to and DAMN the other cartilage one hurt!. But in the end, it was all worth it!
Lessons & tips: Cartilage piercings do hurt, but they look nice.
Piercings give you individuality.
Go for it if you want to do it!
If you feel like you are in a relationship with yourself, brake up with him because "yourself" is all you need. :)
