The Ear Incentive

 

So my mom made a very lovely deal with me concerning school. One big aspect of me attending public school is that I cannot miss school, even if I'm having a really rough time mental health wise. I need to power through whatever it is and get to school, because missing school can become a very bad habit for someone struggling with mental illness. In February of last year I had to stop attending school altogether because of my mental health. Now, I'm at a very different point today than I was a year ago, so it won't be the same sort of issue. But attendance is still something we're going to keep an eye on. Along with attendance is the way I deal with certain situations. I need to use my wise mind and look at things reasonably and deal with situations the best way I can.

So my mom promised me that, if I can get through this first full week of school, I can get my ears pierced again. I already have my regular first lobe piercing, my helix on my left side, and my nose pierced. What I'd like to get now is a second hole on both sides, and a third hole on my right side. I've wanted this for a while, and I think that this is a pretty fair incentive/deal. Despite my general goody two shoes persona, I absolutely adore piercings, tattoos, and brightly colored hair. If it weren't for trich, my long curls would probably be a faded pastel blue or a silvery purple. And I'm pretty sure I'll have at lease three tattoos by the time I'm 25. But I'll talk about tattoos and colorful hair another time. The two pictures below and the one above are inspiration for my triple lobe piercing on my right side. 

 

 

The other piercing that I'm yearning for is the forward helix, pictured below. I don't think I'll get that anytime soon, but I absolutely adore it. I would either get two or three piercings in that place, and it's going to look amazing. Maybe I'll get it in the next year, maybe it'll be longer. But it's definitely on my list. Maybe this can be a little birthday present from myself when I turn seventeen. I'll have worked two jobs by then so I should have the money (right now I'm pretty much broke so I'm looking forward to working). Anyway, I'll be dreaming about this forward helix, especially the one pictured below. The circular stud paired with the teardrop one is so elegant and I love it.

 

 

 

That's all I'm going to waffle about today, I'll definitely talk more about piercings, tattoos, and things in that realm in the future. Until then, have a lovely day.
