There is something I need you to understand, my dear. 

Not everything you see is as black and white as it seems.

How can I put this?... 

Have you ever heard of the visual physiology of light and dark adaptation?

No? Well, how about this? Have you ever noticed how your vision becomes distorted when you go from a bright room to a dark one? Yes, that's it! Light and dark adaptation! 

A very intriguing concept indeed, but what I am trying to clarify is that the distortion will eventually and always fade.

The only question left is, on which edge do you sway?

There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.

Brothers Severance by RissCross
4 parts Complete Mature
We were one of a kind, both as an item and as individuals... We were highly symmetrical, yet still retained difference... But being similar does not mean you are the same. We WERE similar. We used to be... As people grow up, their true colors begin revealing. Some keep the morals they learned from early life, and others make their own. Sometimes it does not even have to do with what you are taught or what you have experienced. Human beings are born into a destiny, born with the pages of their lives written. Some are to be heroes and others are to be villains. Some people think that a person can change, but people do not change. It is only their true self that gets brought out with experiences and years of living. People are who they are and always will be that way. Hell, /I/ have not changed, my brother never changed. YOU will not change. I wish I had known before that I couldn't change him, maybe then things would have ended differently. But it is all over now and we have both served the price. He chose to fall from the top, and I chose to be crushed beneath it...

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
