Do you have any scars? How'd you get them?
I have a bunch of scars but I have 3 particular scars that I notice everyday.
My first one is one under my left eye, its not huge and if you never noticed it, you probably never will. That is from me, at the wise old age of three, jumping on my grandfathers dog Devil dog... (Appropriately named) Of course the dog was sleeping and I startled him and he bit me right under my eye. My parents opted not to go to the hospital for stitches so viola... My scar.
When I was growing up it was alot more noticeable & bigger, maybe my face was just smaller, anyhow, people in school used to ask me all the time how I got this scar. At first I told the real story, but as the years went on, and the question kept being asked, I would make stuff up... My sister hit me with a bat, I rode my bike into a tree.. I was sliced with a pizza slicer... LOL.
My second one is a tiny scar under my chin.... I see it everyday when I put on my makeup. It is a reminder to me that the world is filled with crazy people.
My ex-boyfriend, we shall call him senor psycho, I dated him when I was 16...Decided one day after we broke up, that I needed to learn a lesson. (What this lesson was I still have no idea, but those were his words, I am here to teach you a lesson)
So he snuck in my house when I was alone & attacked me. For 6 hours or so he physically beat the hell out of me. Luckily, I don't remember all of it, but the pictures the police took were enough to show it was bad.
I do remember this portion of the "lesson" I was supposed to be learning, he hit me repeatedly in the face with a metal hanger & split my chin open. Hence the scar.
Scar number three is on my left shoulder, it is 2 vertical lines, very thick & about 1 inch long. These came from the same ex boyfriend, Senor Psycho. At one point in his "lesson" I was trying to get away & I did... I was walking toward the door and to stop me, he threw a drinking glass at my back with the force of a major league baseball pitcher. The glass of course shattered & left 2 huge chunks of glass sticking out of my shoulder blade. I am lucky it only left 2. I see this scar everyday when I am getting dressed.
It so funny to me how a simple little line on your skin can hold a story...I story that you can remember every detail to... Because the scar is not just physical, it's emotional too...
