I had my ear piercing 3~4 years ago and I don't really wear earrings a lot; only when I remember or feel like wearing ones. Anyways, I had experienced this twice already that I suddenly realized I did not wear earrings for a long time.
The very first time I experienced this, I was on the phone with my friend. It's kinda freaking me out coz I thought it's closed because I did not wear any earrings for a long time. It took me like 5~10 mins to make the earrings through. Anyways, it was relieved that everything was fine. And it happened again today just now. I was like "what the ..... come on.... (after 3 mins).... yes, there it is!!"
It's gonna be frustrating if it's just closed, especially if you only have one of your ear piercing left and the other one is closed!! Tks God both of mine are still there!!
