The goal is Sophrosyne. Sophrosyne (n.) a healthy state of mind, characterized by self control, moderation, and a deep awareness of one's true self, and resulting in true happiness. I am tired of being a victim to mental illness. It is not stronger than I am. I don't want the drugs. I want the life long skills. I want to be myself without any help. Here starts my journey. My journey in conquering sophrosyne.

On The Edge is an original script that I decided to write as part of my personal project for school. This play falls under the category of play of ideas. If you don't know what that means, it means that this play highlights social issues of today. In order to write this play, I had to research suicide, depression, social anxiety, bullying, and bipolar disorder and embed what I learned into characters. I researched using the internet as well as interviewing people that I know who deal with some of these issues. By writing this, I wanted to educate myself as well as spread awareness about these issues. I hope that if you are someone who deals with these issues that this play can help you know that you are not alone and help show that you have options to get help. I hope that if you are someone who knows another dealing with these issues that this play can help you better understand how you can be there for them and help them. This script is technically finished, but i will continue to edit it to make it better. I will edit based on the critiques i receive on here and well personal goals on how I want to change it. Thank you all for reading On The Edge, I hope you enjoy it.
