Every since I was 14, I knew I wasn't the typical mixed kid! I've always been fascinating with tattoos and piercings. I have had my tongue pierced 3 times. My daith 3 times. Yet I still felt incomplete. A week ago I entered a giveaway for free $100 worth of piercings with the jewelry from a tattoo shop I've been going to for some time. Sarah my piercer is the sweetest girl. She is just 21 yet has such a beautiful talent. Now y'all know with my health challenges, it isn't easy. As you see now, I'm awake at 1:50 AM ET. I spent most of the past weekend and part of Christmas morning in the hospital for a bad flare and some Dystonia issues. The drawing took place at 11 PM and I was knocked out sleep in the hospital. I woke up the next Rising to find out I won the contest. I got my piercings the day after Christmas! For me, piercing has always been my favorite thing to do. I always wanted a septum and double nose rings. I manifested my dream because I put so much intention behind it. Now when I look in the mirror I see me! The woman that I was looking for. I feel complete! EDS, POTS, and Dystonia doesn't define me. I feel even more confident than I've ever felt. No one can not tell me I am not beautiful! I know it and I'm falling in love with me! Keep fighting!!!
