YOU KNOW… THERE IS SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS TO BE SAID ABOUT STRANGE FRUIT.

ITS APPEARANCE RENDERS IT PURE AND UNBLEMISHED, CAPABLE OF DRAWING ATTENTION FROM THE MOST CRITICAL OF EYES.

ITS BEAUTY IS EMANATED THROUGH THIS DIVINE GLOW OF LIGHT.

PERCEPTIBLE, YET TRANSLUCENT.

IT PROBES YOU TO ACQUIRE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ITS CONTENTS, LEADING YOU TO EVENTUALLY BECOME ATTACHED, HAVING EXPLORED SOMETHING NEW… SOMETHING PROMISING…

YOU BECOME EMBEDDED IN ITS SYSTEM, FINDING FASCINATION IN ITS NATURAL MODE OF PRODUCTION.

YOU BYPASS THE PROTECTIVE SIGNS OF YOUR SUB-CONSCIENCE, AND ENTER A NEW REALM… ONE THAT OCCUPIES YOUR SPACE AND TIME.

YOU SUCCUMB TO CURIOSITY AND PARTAKE IN THE FRUIT, TAKING A LEAP OF FAITH INTO WHAT YOU PERCEIVE AS A PROSPEROUS FUTURE.

THE FIRST BITE GIVES OFF A WAVE OF SATISFACTION BEYOND MEASURE, STRENGTHENING YOUR NEWFOUND COMMITMENT TO YOUR PLEASURES.

THE SECOND BITE FORTIFIES YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY DAMAGED BY YOUR OWN DOUBTS.

EACH BITE DRAWS YOU CLOSER TO DEEPER FEELINGS, LEAVING YOU DETERMINED TO MAKE SENSE OF THE UNEXPLAINED CHANGES TO YOUR BODY.

UNTIL THE VERY…

LAST…

BITE…

YOU KNOW… THERE IS SOMETHING DECEPTIVE TO BE SAID ABOUT STRANGE FRUIT.

WHILE BEAUTIFUL IN APPEARANCE, ITS UNDERLYING CORE FAILS TO REVEAL THE TRUTH.

YOU FAIL AS YOU ATTEMPT TO RECAPTURE THE VERY ELEMENT THAT CAUSED YOU TO BE DRAWN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SECURITY BECOMES OVERWHELMED WITH CONSPIRACY AS YOUR MIND SEEKS TO RE-ESTABLISH A SAFE HAVEN PLACE.

YOU START LOSING YOUR WAY, LOST IN AN MAZE FILLED WITH HOPELESSNESS AND DEPRESSION.

YOU TRY REPLICATING THE LOVE THAT FADED, ULTIMATELY DENYING YOUR OBSESSION.

YOU TRY ANOTHER FRUIT, BUT SOON REALIZE THAT NO OTHER FRUIT GIVES THAT SENSATIONAL TASTE THAT YOU HAVE FELT FROM THAT FIRST BITE.

THEY SAY THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE, THE HEART OF THE FRUIT IS DAMAGED FROM THE FALL; BUT THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT STRANGE FRUIT, SUCH FRUIT THAT HAS NO HEART AT ALL.

SOON YOUR EYES BECOME OPENED, AND YOU COME TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING…

THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS IN LIFE CAN BE AS COMPLEX AS STRANGE FRUIT…

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
