Blush Born Chapter 2

Content Warning: Childhood trauma. Child labor and systemic exploitation. Aftermath of medical abuse.Before You ReadIn the previous post we looked at the history and linguistics that built this world. You've seen the how and why behind this chapter. Moving from the reality of what I survived into the fiction of Jethran's world is a delicate process.As you read I invite you to step into the gray with Jethran. Witness the moment when colors and emotions stop being conceptual and become undeniable, physical reclamations. This is where the world of Evenhere starts to crack and where the light finally starts to bleed through.Thank you for being here, for bearing witness to Jethran's rise, and for walking this path with me.What's Next?In the next chapter, Jethran has an encounter in the wilderness that changes his understanding of everything he has ever known. In my next piece, I will be translating how I took the emotional lessons I had to learn as I recovered from trauma and dealt with addiction then reforged those lessons into god-like archetypes. This one creative endeavor led me to creating an entire cosmology of beings that comprise the cultural beliefs of the different people who live in the world of Evenhere.Support the JourneyJethran is now in the darkness of the forest, and the gray world he left behind is already staining with the colors he could no longer hold back. If his story or the reality of survival is something that you can relate to, please consider supporting this work.
