Here's the thing, it's just not feasible for me to remove it everyday, and then reinsert when I get home from work. Yeah, it sounds whiny, but the idea of not having my lip pierced anymore is really screwing with my sense of self. Weird, I know, but I have the hardest time thinking of being myself without that reminder of crazy displayed for all the world to see.
So, I am taking the job, and I am removing the lip ring, but I feel like a fake for doing it. I certainly didn't expect to get this emotional over a piercing. And that really is the oddest thing. I recognize that in the long run, it's probably best to not have a visible piercing. Hell, not having it may even lead to me finding my dream job. Maybe I can compensate with a new tattoo??
