Ear

Yesterday I had a sudden desire to let someone stick a needle through my ear.

Six years ago I told my mum I wanted to have 'this bit' pierced. I was very chuffed with it. It made me feel a bit different. Brave. Older. But then it got a bit yuck and eventually my body rejected the ring and forced it out, leaving an odd notch.

I am hoping that this one will stay put.
