I took a moment to look at myself in the bathroom mirror, at my parents’ house, where I live because I can’t be trusted to remain upright, and to think about what I was seeing. The bridge of my nose has a red scar. My left cheek is yellowed and there is a very unnatural swelling at the top of my jaw just under my eye. My left eyelid and under-eye are a dark purple. A thought crosses my mind and I am thankful to have a full complement of teeth. I think of what I cannot see. The hairless scar on my chin that took three stitches. The longer scar just above my hairline that took nine. I brush my teeth and start to write it down.
