Fair enough man you raise some valid points and I'm definitely open-minded enough to listen and respect your ideas. I live alone and it's already been 9 days, but when I move out tomorrow I'll see if my landlady will take a picture of me in my current state.

There was a pretty gnarly bruise on my...right ass-cheek, so I could barely sit straight for a while, and it still hurts, but I looked and it's pretty much healed up now too. :/ I should have gotten pictures the day everything happened, but not having my phone and being in a lot of pain, it was the last thing to cross my mind.

I have no problem showing the world who I am, but I think people will be disappointed when they don't see the battle wounds they're expecting to see. It still hurts to walk, it hurts to sit in a chair unless I lean forward, and I definitely am still walking with a slight limp - improving day by day,

I stil also slightly feel the lump on the side of my head, although I don't know if a picture will capture much of anything - but I will give it a shot when I pack my things and leave at noon.

Thank you bro for being honest with my and telling me how you feel / what you think the rest of the community may also be feeling. I hadn't really considered things this way, so it allows me to see things from a different angle.

Love you bro <3
