"These bruises make for better conversation... Everybody loses, we all got bruises." 

I bruise easier than anyone I've ever met. This is partially due to my lanky body, my protruding bones and my low body-mass-index. But more so it's due to my blood being janky. My blood has less white blood cells than the average person.

This allows me to bruise like a peach, get sick more frequently and longer, and slows down the blood healing process.

But I don't mind. I like my bruises. It makes for an easy conversation starter - "how'd you get that?" - a reminder of an adventure - exploration at its greatest - and an indication of humility - we don't live forever.
