Are lip-piercings something that EVERYONE does in Georgia because you, your boyfriend, and basically everyone I saw when I stopped briefly in Georgia this last summer has them? Is it rebellious there to not get your lip-pierced? They're basically a way to express ourselves in a silent way. People get them for different reasons and display them like badges.

When I got my peircings, I got one for each time my life changed greatly, good or bad. I have four in total. Alex got one for each person he met that was a real friend, not a fake one. For some they are like trophies, for others they are war memories. Tell me about these changes if you're comfortable with that. I probably didn't mention this before, but, when I was nine, my mother got cancer and died. That changed my family a lot. My dad became depressed, my brothers became reclusive and would not communicate with anyone. I basically became emotionally numb, spending my days like a zombie. Thats one change. A few years later, my family had patched up their emotional wounds mostly and we decided to move to America, for Greece had to many bad memories associated with it. Our life style changed and we all became happy again. Another change. About a year after we moved I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I began to doubt myself in many ways. My overall mood went from happy to angry and downcast. I had no friends and I didn't know how to handle my own mental problems. That's the third change. The last one is actually when I met Alex. I was almost thirteen and I still had no friends. I alway went to the library in my free time. I developed a passion for reading. One day I was sitting in the library, alone, and Alex came up and sat across the table from me. He had just moved to Georgia from Boston. He noticed I was reading Lord Of The Rings, which was his favorite. We stuck up a conversation and discovered we were both interested in the same topics, had the same way of outlook, and both loved morbid humor. After I became friends with him my life turned around. I became myself again. I laughed more. I lived my life. A huge change. Woah, heavy stuff.

Wait, did you get your first lip piercing when you were 9?
