What if I told you that at 12 years old, you are going to be involved in a car wreck caused by a drunk driver? What if I told you that after the final moments in that car wreck, your mother and yourself was unconscious? What if I told you that it took weeks before they came back to the living? What if I told you that your six-year-old little brother was in that same car wreck and was the only one awake and had to tell the authorities who to contact? Well, I am here to tell you today, that this story is very real and it's about me.

Tears fall from the heavens, as thunder muffles all sound; and yet, not a single piece of literature could be as clear as the feeling I get when I look at you, even if your words have been drowned. [discontinued story]

/Your basic Eighth Hargreeves On the twelfth hour of the first day of October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of these children as possible. He ended up with eight of them. Juno Hargreeves' siblings are extraordinary. She was extraordinary too. Emphasis on the 'was'. Left permanently disabled in the incident that killed Ben, Juno Hargreeves has spent the last decade feeling less than ordinary thanks to her father. Overwhelmed by guilt over Ben's death, no longer able to live up to her father's expectations and her brothers and sisters having left her behind, Juno is trapped. But her father's dead and it turns out the apocalypse is in eight days. Doesn't that sound fun! / CROSSPOSTED ON AO3 & FFN

This is a story based on my car accident that I got into on February 10th 1999 with my mom. I do not remember much from the year that I got into my car accident, so I am going by what my mother has told me about my car accident over the years. I will also be talking about how else my life has been impacted ever since I got into my car accident. I hope you all enjoy reading this story.

Jace Piston has being dealing with the repercussions of his father's abuse all his life, his trauma manifesting as OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Whether it's turning door knobs three times before entering or frantically tugging at his shirt collar, his life consists of a series of rituals that he is convinced will keep him safe and out of harm's way, his father's way. Though when he learns his father may be released from prison, his world starts to spiral out of control. With an overworked, detached mother and a pair of ignorant, overbearing older brothers, his best friend, Leo, seems to be the only person in his corner. Leo Moon isn't without his own struggles. At eleven years old he suffered a major brain injury in a car accident. After years of therapy and treatment he'd gotten back to living a normal life or as normal as he was going to get, with a couple deficits here and there. The most debilitating being his lack of emotional regulation and depression. Things could get very dark for Leo very quickly, but lucky for him he always had Jace to light the way out his dark tunnel. Leo had plenty of people in his corner, supportive parents, a beloved little sister, and a menace of an older brother, but no one understood him the way Jace could. The two best friends were just that, best friends. (Although other people always thought them more.) In their eyes nothing could change that, especially since neither of them worked too well with change. But things get a little blurry when shit starts to hit the fan. With Jace's dad possibly being released from prison and Leo's inability to keep his emotions from getting the best of him, will the pair survive their turbulent freshman year? And if so, as friends or something more?

My name is Oliver Taylor and although my past has made me who I am today, it does not define me. My story is not particularly light or one of joy and smiles. This is about survival. I didn't think that I had purpose... But I've realised now, how to prove myself wrong. People, things, they've come and gone. I've had to accept change in all it's splendour. Fasten your seat belts and prepare for the ride. This, is my journey...

My name is Cole. I'm an addict, or at least I was one labeled as one. I am now grateful to say I am a recovering addict. I have a rare brain disease called Chiari Malformation, which is incurable but manageable. After years of pretending to accept my diagnosis, I am proud to say I not only accept it but am grateful for it. Being ill has changed my perspective on life and the importance of it. I wanted to share these things because they may make up a part of me, even though I'm not defined by them. I also will not be only speaking on those topics. I plan on letting it all out from fear, anger, and resentment to acceptance, self love, and allowing anything, hell everything to happen and find the beauty... Even when it looks as if there is none. I made this blog because I want to talk about life on life's terms; acceptance, pain, and rising above when life pushes you. I plan on talking about a variety of issues that I moved past and currently overcame. This blog will be REAL, RAW, AND, UNFILTERED. All I write will be my truth. Cold and hard yet necessary. Welcome to COLESHARDTRUTH.
