You may be asking yourself, "Why is she so excited about her nose piercing?" I am here to answer that very question.
I've wanted to pierce my nose for a really long time. I've thought about it for longer than 2 years, because back when I was dating, I mentioned it to B and he said that he thought it was an ugly piercing and basically told me not to do it. It made me sad cause I didn't think that it was too bad of an idea. Nevertheless, his opinion convinced me not to do it.
I thought about it every now and again these what, three years now. Every time I mentioned it to a close guy friend, the multiple guys would always seem to be very against me getting a nose piercing. Everyone else in the world was pretty supportive/indifferent. Those few guy friends + ex-boyfriend's opinions were enough to make me doubt myself. I thought a nose piercing would be very fitting for my personality. I thought it would look good with my skin complexion, and that it would add a fun little bit of sparkle to my face. But I shied away from piercing my nose because of those few very adamant opinions.
Getting my nose pierced is my tangible act telling the world that I'm learning how to liberate myself from being ruled by what people (males especially) think I should do with neutral decisions like this one. They are most certainly entitled to their opinions, but I have to respectfully disagree with them and do what I want. Since I respect their opinions, it's hard. I have to tell myself that they will be my friends regardless. I also have realized that if a guy were to not like me in the future because my nose is pierced, he doesn't deserve me. The end!
Off to LA for the next three days! Hooray!
