I bruise easily.  Rather, I don’t think my bruising capability is that much more than the average person, but I do think that I am pale and therefore show the bruises I do get easily.

I like getting bruised.  That means I’ve withstood something.  Hopefully something to which I’ve consented and desired.  All of the bruises visible in the photo here are of that variety.  I keep getting more, and I like ‘em for the most part.

I do, however, have a bruise on my forehead the origin of which I do not know.  While I don’t think I didn’t consent to the bump and bruise I have on my forehead, I don’t remember where or how I got it either.  Thankfully I don’t need to use my forehead for a lot of activities so it’ll fade into oblivion.

Yes, those are bruises on my chest.  I have a lot more, too.

I swear.  True story.
