AN INTRUSIVE BITE

Let me make one clear statement: Hickeys are disgusting and vile! I will not entertain the notion of having a hickey anywhere on my body because I truly feel that it’s a violation upon my individuality. The last person to place a hickey on my body literally got punched. I can’t stand the thought of having someone else put THEIR teeth marks on MY skin. I see individuals around me that wear them like badges of honor and the conversations around them are usually fluttering with envy and delight at the sight of them. I simply can’t understand why anyone would want their blood vessels popping from unnecessary force. Just thinking about it now grosses me out.
I know I haven’t always been this way. When I was a teenager, I had my share of hickeys decorating my body like art in a museum but at some point I determined that hickeys were a childish play thing that we used as a tool to develop our rebellion against our own personal authority figures such as our parents. As time goes by and I began to put more confidence in the person that I was becoming, the need to have hickeys simply faded away; the time finally came for me to put away these childish things. I’m not sure when, but at some point thereafter, a hickey became a symbol of dominance and power over another individual and I, being the individualist, resist any type of dominance upon my body and soul. So I say rise up my brothers and sisters and keep control over your own body, it is the one thing that is truly ours and nobody as the power to claim our bodies as their own property. I beg each of you to respect yourselves because we can never really depend on another individual to do those things for us.
