Author's Note
I was attacked by a dog a year ago. I still look at my hands and think about how I could've lost them out of my selfish, stupid desire. I wanted to pretend nothing happened and go to a party. If my dad hadn't convinced me to stay at the doctor, I would've lost my hands to infection. I take my body for granted and then hate it anyway. I need to do better. I have what I have, and that is not bad.
