The Marks Across My Neck

I don't care who you are, I don't care where you're from, and I don't even care what you did, I just hope that you know and you support ZERO violence in relationships. And I am here to tell you that there's only one kind of bruising tolerable in relationships if it came from sweet sexytime, a hickey for example.

What? You don't know what a hickey is? Well then, you should skip to the next article. You are too young to read the following text.

Now the kids are gone, well you know what hickeys are. Those little marks you leave from kissing or sucking too hard on someone's skin. Usually, as we all know from our teenage years, these marks are usually left on the neck, the chest, and God knows where.

These marks used to be a little status symbol that you are in some kind of relationship or you're just someone who's seeing a lot of action.

I remember my first real encounter with these little marks. If I am not mistaken, it was back in grade school. Or let's just say, early high school for the sake of the conservatives out there. A huge shout out to you guys, I'm one of you, don't forsake me.

So there's this friend of mine who was at the time going out with another friend of mine. We got to talking, you know, the usual things, and I don't know how one thing led to the other but the next thing I know, she was unbuttoning her blouse and was showing some marks across her chest. She told me that the dude made those.

And what was my reaction? I was like, "oh, okay cool." I just said that with lackluster enthusiasm. I didn't know how to react and I didn't know what to do. But oh well.

I have never given anyone a hickey nor did I receive anything in return, and that's until I was working already. Yep. That late! Don't judge me, I was a pretty nerdy kid who was focused on studying and all that. I was more focused on games and studying than I was on games with the ladies. :D

Giving It

So here's the first thing you need to know about that, it hurts. Lol. And it's not that easy to give. You need that certain umph before you can give a mark away. And it kinda hurts your lips while doing so.

I didn't know how to at first, but of course, practice makes perfect and I was finally able to do so. But after that, I didn't even use that skill. I didn't like it. It brings me no joy, pleasure, or whatever. Plus, it looks weird when you see it in other people. It's not sexy, it's not cool, it's just...weird and a bit icky. I'm not judging you, if you like it, then that's cool, I just don't really see the allure to it.

But that being said, I couldn't tell someone to just not do it if they really want it. I also have fallen prey to being a victim of a weirdly placed mark across the neck. It was just a little kiss from this girl with a pretty small stature, I didn't know she could leave a mark that intense.

I had to go to work with a band-aid stuck on my neck. And just one strip wasn't enough to hide it all. I had to use two. My superiors saw the band-aids on me and they immediately knew what I was trying to hide. And they all gave me the headshake of disappointment. One even went out of his way to tell me that I shouldn't be doing stuff like that because I work in front of the customers.

Getting Rid of It

I was sorry and I wanted to get rid of it, fast. I went to the internet to look for home remedies for such stuff. The first thing I tried was ice.

They say that those marks aren't really different from the normal bruises and you can treat them fairly well with a small block of ice. So I went to get some ice after work and put it on my neck. It was so damn cold and I felt it burn into my skin. After a while, I look at the affected area and it's just so red. But the way I saw it, that trick didn't work.

Another thing about bruises is that they were formed with the blood clumping up together. So ideally, it will be gone when the blood dissolved back to normal. So I also tried dissolving it. The first one was by freezing it, and the next one to try was heating it up. I read that you shall use a spoon heated over a candle and put it on the mark. Now that sounds a bit dangerous. You have to warm the spoon perfectly and not too hot because you don't want to burn your skin, literally.

And again, the theory works well, in theory. But that didn't help my case still.

The last one to try was a pretty drastic move. It involved a blade and cutting of the skin. I, of course, skipped that sh!t.

In the end, I just waited for it to fade away and it took several days to be completely gone.

Overall experience, it sucked. See what I did there? It sucked. Get it? Still none? Arrrrghh!

Heey!
