This story is a sequel to The Other Side

I‘ve stepped out of the [valley of] shadows [of death], and into the light. It’s bright at first, but my friends have seen all the colors I am, and all the ones I want to be, and help me wear them bright like a shining star.

I once was black and white, and felt the need to hide them for fear of driving them away. But while I did test test them to see if where their limits are with me, they still let me shine up bright; and you know what? It just feels right.

Rated T for abrasiveness.
