time of death ~ 17:58

well, it finally happened (;-;)

my navel and i had a good run since october. it wsa a very glorious day when i finally got the piercing as it was my first time seeing dials dials dials and i felt very free and cutely.

we were cheerful throughout winter and spring... all was well... but as summer approached so did the opportunities for danger.

my first time swimming was in april and it didnt seem to have an adverse reaction although i was hesitant that day because 7 months is a little too fresh to be swimming, my navel wasnt mad. i was glad we were on good terms. 

come may and june, i hit the gym a lot which i dont think caused any trauma but as my movement increased so did the wiggling back and forth. i was never really sure when to downsize so i felt like late june would be a good time before my beach trip in july (will be blogged about soon)....

i finally got my hands on a blingy piece and i could take my navel to the next step after having a safe disc since its conception . i was really happy because i just wanted to sparkle in the sun....

this downsize however seemed to be the harbinger of doom not like it was a bad decision but something was just off...... the length of the bar agreed with my navel and the wiggling and adjusting ceased. there was a small gap between the flatback and bar which i found suspicious but i was too nervous to touch it and tighten it myself. one immediate giveaway however was the blingy top piece leaving indents in my skin. this had to be a sign of some issue but i was too stubborn to look into it because touching = bad and ruins healing. little did i know.......ive been sabotaging the healing the whole time.............

july 11. my beach day. i resist the call of the sea for an hour until being offered a donut floatie. surely no water or debris will enter my wound like this.... so i floated and we had fun.. i checked up on my navel to make sure it was happy.. all seemed well. the sand couldnt really be avoided either as i sunbathed but i did my best to rinse it with bottled water. the problem with the beach is that every speck of sand is obsessed with any drop of water so true cleanliness wasnt an option here.

then a really crazy storm hit and i kinda had no choice but to stand there and let the murky rain have its moment picking up sand and launching mud at me okay fine you win i cant do anything about nature..

packed up and left quickly to clean off in the shower but i think i was too late. my navel was way too upset. and i know what i did wrong i just wish it was quick to forgive..... i cant have everything though...

i arrived home on the 12th and noticed the skin on the bottom of my navel beginning to attach itself to the flatback. this really freaked me out because i thought it may begin to embed if it swelled. so while panicking i upsized my bar and also brought back the OG disc on top to prevent the marks the bling made. it was so red and it was so mad at me i felt really bad. how could i have a moment to myself to catch my breath and let the blood that rushed to my head settle in my body when my navel was so mad. i wish i could ask it now to have sympathy........

the skin around the top looked dry and flaky but not in the way my skin has had its fair share of. to be real the jewelry never sat flush against my skin in the first place but in these conditions it wasnt sitting not flushly in an even worse way you know? like it just didnt want to try anymore 

i made peace with the fact my navel wasnt going to be with me forever a while ago but i didnt want to say anything to bring in bad energy or something. i just didnt think itd be this fast..

today i went to the piercing studio and explained my concerns adn the piercer whom i really trust assured me it honestly looked fine and it was just irritated and had been moved around. but she understood that for peace of mind taking it out was okay. and that i should come back in 3 months. but i thought nuh uh girl in 3 months im getting something else.!!!!

but im not discouraged and this isnt the end between me and my navel. i think we need to go elsewhere to mend our relationship but i WILL try again. it made me feel really good about my body and such and im going to feel really empty without something to obsess over. i really liked having something that only i could look at all the time, which yes genitals are for that too but mine arent made of metal so i dont care

.however the stress is just not worth it for me at this time and ill try again when both my navel and i can handle it i learned my lesson and i will speak up when i think something is wrong . for me and my navel. we are eternal
