  • I Bruise Easily

    Now there’s no hidden meaning here, and it’s not just some catchy song either. I bruise quite easily, not in some deeper psychological or emotional way, but literally. I often find myself covered in bruises, especially on my legs and most of the time, I don’t know how on earth I got them in the first place. It doesn’t take much to leave bruises on my body. Someone can easily leave a bruise on my arms just by grabbing them while pressing their thumbs at the same time. I once had to explain to my doctor about my bruises, who I don’t think believed me, because she, then, went on to ask about my relationship with my boyfriend (at the time).

    Some people bruise easily; some have tougher skin. Some bruises go away within days, while others stay for weeks, We’re like that, not the skins and bones of us, but on a deeper and emotional level. Things happen, life happens and we get bashed around and we get hurt so we stumble and we fall. Just like how bruises will eventually heal and disappear, we’ll get up again and go on with our lives. For some, it doesn’t take long while for others, it may take weeks, months, or even years. But the bottom line is that we’ll be alright, and in the end, everything will fall into place…It’s only a matter of time, and that’s the beauty of life.

    I Bruise Easily—Now, that’s definitely a catchy song
