Took a day off in Musings and Daily Events

I took the day for myself today.

I didn’t go to class. Instead, I went into town. I walked around all day. I went to the art museum, the book store, the art supply store, clothing stores, the weird knickknack store. I bought coffee and wings. I had a great conversation with an awesome bartender while getting slightly tipsy at 3 in the afternoon. I remembered what it was like to just be with myself and my thoughts for the day. It was nice.

Then life came rushing back.

I forgot I had to go to my piercer to have him look at my nipple ring. It migrated a lot so he suggested I take it out, have it close up and heal and repierce it in a few weeks.

I was upset about it. I still kind of am.

It was a symbol of the confidence I gained after everything that happened with Mike and later Dan. It was my little secret that made me feel like a badass who could conquer the world.

It’ll be back. It wasn’t what gave me my strength. Maybe a boost at first, and definitely reassurance later. But, it’ll be back. I’m still awesome. I’m still moving forward. I’m still badass.
