There is a dent on top of my head, every time I feel it, it makes me sad.

It’s not a part of my natural skull shape. It came from the continuous punching my uncle would do to me. A grown man in his 40’s (at the time) did this to me when I was 8 years old. He would come up with any excuse to beat me. He would purposely go out of his way to upset me, so when I show emotion, he would attack me.

I also have a lump on my forehead from when my mom hit me in the head with a glass bottle. That’s been there since I was 10 and I hate feeling it whenever I do skincare.

I sometimes wonder I ended up with a brain injury.
