Not try'n to be a dickhead here...just the way my brain works...probably should just stfu right now. But that's not the way my brain works either.
you said in this post you can't see the gash that was on the side of my head. ...well we could if you just parted the fur surrounding it and getting a pic of that on this post.
I love ya Ben, and you've been a source of fun and advice to me since joining...and you know I speak my mind. Anyway...most people are 1st and foremost good hearted and will help other people...yes even strangers...and other furry creatures great and small...when they can. Still they're programmed to suspicion..."pics or it didn't happen" we hear that a lot these days.
Anyway Ben, I honestly think you'd be doing yourself a huge favor...and easing a lot of minds that read this...if you would just send a pic of that gash. Better yet find someone to video it..showing you...we know your face right?...then zooming in to the parting of the fur and showing the evidence.
It's also an opportunity to thank those who've already helped you and to show everyone this hasn't got you licked and you're still the same panda bear that people have come to know and love..on whatever platform.
Again...I mean no offense and if you ask I will take this out...but I have some folding cash stashed for emergency purposes that I'm willing to send to you...but my brain says wait...
My upvote ain't worth shit dude...and neither are my resteems...but I will resteem this when I see evidence...real evidence of physical trauma.
I hope this doesn't strain our relationship going forward...but I just gotta be me and call them as I see them...even if my eyes are deceiving me. I just won't allow my heart to deceive me...anymore...and that's my opened wound.
much love and healing energy sent your way Ben...and not just from me <3
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
Glad you see it from other's point of view. The gash doesn't need to be on a bump...bruises and bumps go away...usually with quite the colorful display for us of a lighter complexion...man I have had some beautiful bruises in my time ~smiles~ just show the gash...don't wanna see yer butt man...and get someone to video it...gotta be someone you know there that's got a few minutes to spare...or why bother travelling at all? How about one of the baristas at the Starbucks you frequented?
Just try'n to help Ben...checked out the link to your fund...wish I had a credit card...cause if I did...I'd definitely "kick a buck" your way and challenge others to do the same.
Know this my friend...yer still alive so you're just getting stronger...this'll be a non-memory/event in 5 years. <3
