Dear Diary,
How are you today? I hope you are well. I was off yesterday, did you miss? I missed you.
Diary, guess what?! I have a secret to tell you. Yesterday during my off day I had anticipated to do one thing that I have never done in my life. I had longed to do it, but something used to hold me back. I could imagine the pain that I would go through. My mum has never done it, my immediate big sister has not done it either, but the rest of my three sisters have done it. I had been scared all my life I had thought it is the most painful thing a woman can go through maybe I was wrong.
While growing up, people around me used to talk about it in low tones, some used to say it is a sin and they would go a long way in describing how God will punish those who do it severely, that God would ask you questions that one may not be in a position to answer.
But diary, am here today to seek the truth, to know the difference between perception, stereotype, religion, facts and what is morally right. Do you think you can give me the feedback that I am looking for? I hope so.
But before that let me share with you my experience on how it went down.
Friday being my off day, as usual I plan it in advance. Since he goes to work, I have to meet him in town. When am in town I find he has already organized for someone to contact me and pick me up. All bills already paid, I tiptoe to the venue of meeting, I meet this new guy he tells me his name is Nelson. He directs me to his business parlour at the CBD. My phone rings and its him again, he calls to check on me, when I inform him on my whereabouts he requests to speak with nelson, I transfer the call to him and he instructs him what should be done to me, and I see him nod his head towards my direction and I understands that everything is settled.
Voilà, the whole procedure begins. There are two things that should be accomplished by the time they are done with me. If you ask me the mood was a confused one but at the same time I was excited. The first of the two procedure's was really good if not better. It took me almost 45 mins for the procedure. Though the attendant had requested to have me do the second procedure first since it was a bit painful, I hesitated and informed her that, that ill do it after the first procedure.
Everything went well for the first procedure since it was my first time, I can assert that I really had a wonderful experience. When I was done it was time for the second part of the procedure and to be frank I was really doubtful if I could pull through it. I felt like I could go home then come another day, I was really in dilemma but time was running up, I had to make up my mind and everyone seemed to be looking towards my direction .
"Yes, ill do it". I said. The attendant looked at me for a full minute before asking me if I was really sure I wanted to do it, and I nodded absent mindedly. Dear diary, that is what happened, I just did it. I had my ears pierced! Is it a sin? I don't know, but only one day ill get answers to my worried question. Until then diary am now like my other sisters, if you ask me, I don't know if ill add more piercing to my ears but who knows? Never say never!
Dear diary, that is now my big secret for you this February. As the month progresses I hope we share more together. FYI, my team Arsenal was playing and we just lost 5-1 to Liverpool, by the end of the weekend we might go to position 3, but its OK, they say winners never quit, so am going to keep on trusting in Wenger, as I await the next fixture against Man United I say COYG!
Lovely weekend,
Love Lisa.
