#9 – We’re All Normal Here

I started writing the initial pilot episode for my series We’re All Normal Here. It’s very raw and extremely unedited. What a lot of people don’t know about it, is that it’s about me. It’s about a severely dark time in my life and how I almost didn’t come out of it. I barely did anyways. I wanted to write about it as a way to close that door and start completely fresh. I’ve always battled with my bipolar and my depression but I never talked about it freely and candidly. The series talks about a young girl, Willow, who has an illness that no one wants to talk about. Her father is absent most of the time and when he’s there he starts fights with her. Her mother loves her but doesn’t know how to love herself. The only thing she has are her two brothers who love her and are willing to do anything for her.
