and yet another rant

about what I want..





I wish I could just be myself. I'm sure there are people that are reading this and are thinking, so go ahead, but it's not so simple. I want to cover my arms in tattoos, I want to keep my lip ring, for life, I want to gauge my ears back up to at least a half inch. Why does it mean so much to everyone else that I look more normal? If I had my way, I would look completely different. I'm getting to the point where I'm starting not to care, and go more my own way. The second I start the tattoo on my right arm, there's no turning back. Too bad it will probably be a job that doesn't accept tattoos that will be paying for it.





What changes about me so much the second I have a visible tattoo? Am I less capable than before? Of course not, but I'm treated as such. All I really want, is to be able to change, the way I want to, without apprehension because of some stupid social stigma.
