My apologies to the late responses to messages as well as friend requests I've been terribly busy getting settled and adapting to all the change that has been going on.
I figure the best way to go about this is chronologically, considering the fact that it's easier to remember everything for what it truly was.
Let's begin shall we?
I got some new piercings
I've been wanting my cheeks pierced for such a long time it felt so good to finally get them done.
I had done some research on the piercings and came to find that they take a long time to heal and the healing process can be somewhat intense, so I decided to document my healing process
This starts on the hour after I got it pierced to the 4 days after that. He put smaller bars than he would usually put in and the swelling never got to the ends of the bars.
After 6 days I went in and got them changed to something more snug.
It hasnt even been a month and they are completely healed. If you know how the healing process generally goes then I don't need to emphasize how quickly I healed. Needless to say the piercer was stoked.
I've been collaging alot recently.
Also I had some fun times the last two weeks of school, despite the stress from paperwork and deadlines I enjoyed my final days with my Paul Mitchell family.
As well as my family
My twin sister (yes twin sister) and my best buddy Michaelangela came and surprised me!!
My parents came down shortly after and we spent some quality time at the local hookah bar for their first hookah experience.
The feelings I had about graduating were bittersweet.
Going to cosmetology school has been a goal of mine since I was a freshman in highschool. Finally accomplishing a goal that I have had for the past 5 years is such an empowering feeling. But ontop of what I learned about cosmetology while I was at school, I learned alot about myself, life, and alot more from the people I encountered.
When I moved to South Carolina I was alone, and isolated. I didn't know anyone and I didn't know the city I was living in. I was scared, and lost spiritually and physically. After a single year I graduated and left with a family and friends who are utterly amazing. I found a different part of myself and the growth and change I endeavored blows my mind. I went through alot of internal struggles and struggles with other individuals. By the end of my schooling I felt so drained. I try to give every ounce of positivity and love to everyone I encounter and the ones I see everyday. I want to make a positive impact on someones day, even if its just a smile. With giving so much I realized how drained I felt.
The last day I was at school and I was about to get clapped out everyone seemed so sad I was going and it made me feel so sad to leave them. I realized how much of an impact I had really made on their lives in such a short time, and its amazing how much they have impacted me. I have so much love in my heart for everyone there. When I walked out and everyone was clapping me out, so many people started to cry that I couldnt help but tear up and just smile. In that one moment I felt a staggering amount of love flood over me and it filled me up and lifted my spirit in such a way that words can barely describe. Truly amazing.
So right after all the emotion with leaving the school, then came the changes in my home life.
I had to pack up and leave South Carolina 5 days later. I packed up everything and had to say my goodbyes to my friends in SC. So heartbreaking but I know that our paths will cross again soon someday
My friend gave me this just before I left. Im such a fan of little nik-naks and I'm extremely sentimental.
I got another piercing
My adios to my favorite piercing shop in Charleston!

With the proper care and love he's been getting stronger but I unfortunately can't keep him forever. He's barely a month old and needs home...soo uh anyone in Ohio want this little guy?
