Bruises are the result when broken capillaries are damaged when some type of trauma occurs. I will also be the first to tell you that I have weak capillaries because I bruise so easily and have been asked many times if I was in some domestic abuse situation (Note: if you are being abused please stop reading this and seek help and then call me to let me know if you are ok). I have to be honest I don’t even remember how I get most of the bruises on my body. Of course once you have a bruise it becomes some kind of beacon for another object or some sort of a target to hit that exact spot, Game on!
However, the most painful bruises are the ones nobody can see and seem to take so much longer to heal. These are the most common bruises that we all carry, some can just hide them better. Some don’t bruise as easy and some just heal faster. No matter what category you fit into, bruises hurt. I used to wish I could be one of those people who didn’t bruise so easily but now I see it differently. Now I like to look down and see that super awesome purple, blue, blackish tattoo on my leg and think “Oh that must have hurt.” To looking down days later to see it healing and getting lighter and lighter reminding me that bruises do go away. They give me hope that the bruises that hurt so bad inside get lighter and lighter everyday too. And when “something” comes along to hit that exact spot that is so painful already I just have to remember that my broken capillaries are healing, just in their own time…
