Bruises

Rarely ever seen as something beautiful to behold, the bruise can spin an interesting tale. For some, it may convey a story of weakness; for others, one of clumsiness. It can even make us feel a bit exposed, as it is sharing a part of our selves to others, whether we speak or not.

But how about we take a look at another possibility.

The one that says the bruise represents strength. Strength on full display. It is one of the remarkable ways the body heals, and it shows you have survived an impact. You have survived pain.

As in all things, we get to choose how we see our world and how we wish to tell our story. So maybe, the multi-hued, ever-changing colors are the beauty of the bruise. It is on exhibition, showing the vibrant force we truly are.
