I took my nose ring out today

I got a nose ring over christmas, after contemplating it for a year. I loved it. It was beautiful.

But it was infected, poor little thing. So I took it out. Poor little silver nose ring, may you rest in peace on my dresser.

I feel that a part of me is lost. Edwin says it was infected because my body was trying to get rid of a foreign object stuck in my face. Just when I thought it was starting to become a little metal part of my face.
