Sometimes the truth is awful. Sometimes even thinkin' it hurts so bad I think I'll lose my mind. Sometimes the only way to live, to be myself, is to just not say it, not think it, hide it away 'til I almost forget the things I'm never gonna forget.

And here I'm supposed to be the Element of Honesty.

Warning for child sexual abuse handled seriously.
The sad and dark tags refer to the subject matter, not the path the story takes.
There may be some adult scenes later in the story between Applejack and Rainbow Dash for plot essential reasons. If it becomes graphic I'll add a sex tag and warn before the chapter.
