On July 11, 2009 I decided to no longer wear my earrings. I don't know what prompted me to do it so randomly, but I do know that I did it to make a better impression on everyone else. The fact is that people do judge you, for better or for worse on your image, and my earrings don't really represent myself, or at least the way I am now. I don't see myself as the "hoodlum," or the "lower class," member of society that is sometimes associated with earrings and Indian families. Even if my great grandfather and my grandfather wore diamonds in their ears to show their wealth, I realized I don't live in the turn of the 20th century, times are different now.
I'm 20 now, no longer a teen. I guess its time for me to act and look like an adult, a businessman, and hell...maybe even a husband in this decade. A new decade awaits ahead...

Hey Neil,
ReplyDeleteI was in the same boat as you about 10 years ago...decided to take my left earring off as it wasn't really me. Looking forward to seeing the new look bro!
Peace,
John
