Like diamonds

I have a bruise across the wrist left by the exercise band. I don't want to sound too 90's goth teen but, it's a beautiful bruise. I've always found bruises a bit trashy, all purple and dark, products of hits here and there. But this one is different, made by the pressure of the clasp against the wrist during the yoga poses I'll never be able to do but can't stop from trying. And probably from strangling the bike handle during cycling, you know, the opposite of how it is done. Maybe that's why it's so pretty, with its red tones and blooming edges, it was born out of pressure not a sudden hit.

Speaking of violence. Sometimes humans can suck pretty badly.
