When moving into a new home, one never knows what their relationship with their neighbors is going to be.

Some neighbors immediately become fast friends and visit each other every day.

Some aren't necessarily on bad terms, but seldom exchange two words with one another, despite living right next door to one another.

Be it out of an attempt to appear cooler, or amidst fears of being politically incorrect, job listings, inter-office memos, and speeches at corporate events always feature commonly used buzzwords or buzzwords those speaking hope might find their way into everyday speech.

Much to the annoyance, if not outright disdain of those on the receiving end.

All scars tell a story.

Some scars people wear proudly, as they are possibly a reminder of their service dedicated to fighting for what's right.

Other scars might be more poignant, serving as a reminder of a life saving surgery.

And then there are the scars which we can only look upon with laughter.

The scars which we gained from such a ludicrous reason, that nobody will likely believe the story that comes with it.
