A new beginning: A piercing

Why does it seem something as small as a little piercing can raise such a controversy? Got my nosed pierced with Corkii last friday and it was a long time coming. We had planned on doing it in England but the more we want to go the less it seems to be happening right now. So a piercing? Lets start there. Called my parents to tell them because we were excited. Mom was ok like she always is but dad didn't say anything but "Here talk to your mother!" I've gotten so far in five days: "Why would you want to do that?", "If God wanted you to have holes in your body he would have given them to you!", "It looks cute on you!" Yet the more I see people's reaction the better it seems to get. I love it. Like I keep saying I am starting to find the more things I do for myself the happier things seem to make me. So if a nose being pierced makes me happy thats what I am going to do. mmmm Maybe I'll get another tattoo while I am at it. Join the "pierced/tattoo'd freek club". I know that what I have been getting for a long time. Inviduality doesn't seem to be an option for so many people. Even tho we are suppose to be able to express ourselves. So if a tiny piercing causes a heated discussion then so be it. I just hope that Corkii can survive it with her parents just like I have with mine. After all its an expression of who we are. Our own personal canvas so to speak!
