Trapped in a flesh vessel.

Which was incredibly stupid (and painful), seeing that I had only been in a 6g for a week, and before that I was in a 8g for less than a week.

Patience is my Achilles heel.

Luckily, my lobes are healing quite nicely. I soak them in salt water a few times a day and massage them frequently. I had a bit of a scare when I noticed a wet feeling when I was massaging, and it turned out to be lymph*. So basically I had stretched way too fast, and my body was struggling to keep up with the stress. Thank goodness I didn’t get a blowout, those things are disgusting.

*Lymph = Clear odorless fluid produced by body to fight infection.

P.S. If you have no idea what I’m talking about here, I’m stretching my earlobe piercings. Also known as “Gauging”. The process is supposed to be taken very slowly to avoid damage and pain.
