This Is Why I'm So Normal

From denial to acceptance, no one should have to heal alone.
We meet with understanding, not judgment. Your story is more common than you think.
What this is
The Light That Survives.
"This Is Why I'm So Normal" is a place to tell your story in a public but anonymous way. You tell us what happened; we help you unpack it and our writers help you craft it. In most cases we talk to several family members, because many of the facts are hidden or selectively available. Sometimes as validation and closure, sometimes as the seed of a dramatized episode. We never publish without your final approval and consent. We will not use your story for our TV series without a second approval and consent.
It isn't a forum, and it isn't a tabloid. Every submission that reaches this site is meant to pass through a guided intake, a human editorial read, and a full anonymization pass before anyone sees it -- and nothing is ever published without the contributor giving their own, separate, explicit sign-off.
