Soft Apocalypse

Jennifer Dawson's life has always been a rollercoaster, battling extreme highs and lows due to her bipolar disorder. On some days, she struggles to even get out of bed, trapped in an overwhelming depression that keeps her in a dark room for 12 hours at a time, unable to clean up the mess or take a step forward. But when the mania hits, everything changes. Jennifer becomes someone else: impulsive, energetic, and almost unrecognizable.

This isn't just Jennifer's story. It's a look into the lives of those around her, showing that everyone has their own battles. No one's life is perfect, and no one is without their suffering. This story dives into the perspectives of different characters, all with their own struggles-whether it's dealing with personal demons, complicated family relationships, or trying to find meaning in a world that often feels too heavy.

Jennifer's rivalry with Cole, who's been picking on her since kindergarten. Their families are close, almost like one unit, but that doesn't stop the tension between them. Cole and Jennifer's brother are best friends, making her life even more complicated. There's more to it than just their rivalry, though-it's about navigating the mess of love, hate, friendship, and everything in between.

Through every perspective, this story proves that we all have struggles, and no matter how hard we try to hide them, they're always there, waiting to be seen. No one is alone in their pain.
