The Beauty Schism

The Beauty Schism

Alright, schism is maybe a little too strong of a term to use. Though I would like to point out that schism can be used in the form of division or divide, not only in the context of religion.

Pushing the Limits – Attempting More Than One Should

Life is sort of a balancing act, at least it seems like that to me sometimes. Thus the name of the site is See Chaos. Really, I don't like pushing the limits yet there are times when it is necessary to put in a little more.
