my reasons
alright, I've been getting emails and stuff asking why i really don't show my face in my picture and the reasons for wearing headbands/hats.
on june 3rd of this year, i got into a car accident with my friend and my head went through the windshield (didn't wear a seatbelt) and came back into the car.
and for that, I am now having to face the consequences of having scars across my forehead, and a broken nose with a gash over it. With that, I have no feeling in my forehead and on the top of my head because I killed too many nerves. My forehead was literally sliced up to where i had a flap covering my left eye.
i am getting surgery on my nose, and forehead but for now i like to cover everything up so people don't stare at it. as for the feeling i lost, i might get it back, i might not.
so definitely wear your seat belts if you already don't.
