Days back, I woke feeling very happy. I don’t know why cause I am not a morning person, maybe it's because morning looks so serious with all its 'worky' vibes or I'm jealous of people in love who go about shading the single us on their timeline with irrelevant lovey-dovey things. I would wake up and not want to talk to anybody till the late hours of the morning... which most of my friends termed me “morning grumpy queen”.
On this said the day I woke up very happy, I picked up my phone and I was going through it when I saw a video of a lady piercing her ears, it was lovely and as I just kept looking at it, I kept imagining my ears to be pierced too. Yes, my earlobes were pierced at an early age but this adult type gives a whole lot of big girls’ vibes which I have come to love. I had thought of doing it several times but the thought of its pain scares me to hell.
I decided to message a friend of mine and I was like “Free on Saturday? Let’s go get my ear lobe pierced”. Still feeling excited and replaying the video over and over again, my phone beeped, when I checked, it was my friend's reply and it read: "I cleared all my schedule so definitely, Saturday then”. At this moment, my lost sense came back to life, the feeling of pain I was about to face gripped me and I wanted to opt out by messaging her to forget about it but hey, the borrowed part of me popped out from nowhere, and occupied my soft brain with: "the lady you saw in the video, does she have two heads? Come on, you can do it".
Guys, they say we need to listen to our instinct that was it, I decided to let my instinct be the lead, after all, instincts are just like the Holy Spirit, he doesn't lead you astray.
I was ready but the thought of the pain kept knocking at my heart and memories of previous experiences began to chip in
There was a certain time I followed my friend to get her nose pierced, she was the one piercing I was the one feeling the pain. I couldn’t even look again cause I felt like I could feel the needle piercing into my skin.
Well, I already made this decision and there was no going back I just have to overcome my fears. Well, the day came and I said “Get ready with me to go and disgrace myself” I got to the place and I saw people, very strong people getting either their ear or nose pierced. I kept on asking my friend “Are you sure we shouldn’t go back” Well she kept blackmailing me with “Remember I cleared my day because of you.”
"Hello dear, it's your turn" I was called and at that moment, thick goosebumps appeared on my skin. I got up and sat on the chair. I had to pause the lady by telling her how she should please handle me with care that I am scared of pain and I will cry. She was nice and said she would be gentle.
“Daddy!!!!!…….” you guessed right! That was me screaming at just the first piercing, at first people were so shocked but they started laughing at me.
I don’t know if it’s cause I screamed or the fact I screamed daddy.
I told the lady to wait a bit so I could breathe properly. A bit turned into an hour before I decided to get the other ear pierced. Well, I tried not to scream daddy again but I did scream.
That was it, I got my ear successfully pierced, seeing that I made it out alive I am contemplating piercing my nose. From what I've imagined, it seems the nose pain is gonna be more fierce, so I’m still building confidence for it and still recovering from the one I just did.
I don’t think anyone there will forget my display, as when I was leaving they all said greet your daddy for us.
Well least I got my ear pierced, after embarrassing myself.
