goodbye eyebrow ring

Warning: This post contains some grossness.

I got my eyebrow pierced for my 16th birthday. My stupid body decided it didn't like it and rejected it, aka pushed it out of the skin. So I left it in for my 17th birthday and took it out that night. A year later when I was 18 and could get it done without the consent of my parents I got it re-pierced behind the scar tissue, where I was told it would not come out again. Well it didn't migrate out. But it sure did get infected! Plus the old hole kind of reopened and got infected as well. The last month I have been struggling with it to keep it clean and let it heal. But it just would not get any better. I took it out tonight to give it a good clean, but after all of this I couldn't get it back in. I tried, then it started bleeding, I had a little cry and said goodbye. And I promise myself (and my parents) I will not get it re-pierced. Or the other eyebrow. I loved it a lot. But it just didn't love me back.

So goodbye eyebrow ring.
You will be missed.
Please don't leave an ugly scar.

Sigh. :)

Kim: You look kind of funny with dreads in that jacket.
Tom: I think you look good.
Me: He mostly just likes the jacket.
Tom: I mostly just like you.
Me: Smile.
