It'd be great to see how his writing style is.

SWC has praised his writing gotta find the interview but when she talked about how he would add or change MiSa scenes from the revival, she trusted him and knew he was a remarkable writer so I'll try to find her interview

in loving memory of wentworth miller’s instagram account

Quote:
I was struck by a blog post. Or maybe it was an editorial piece. It read like a letter. And a public apology. Of sorts. Written to someone (everyone?) the author had met when/while they were unwell.

"I wasn't myself back then," was the gist. "Back then I was depressed. But now I'm better. And I'd like a second chance to make a first impression."

That was the general idea. And it struck me.

I respected the writer. I respected their truth.

And (it's a "both/and" not an "either/or") it wasn't my truth.

The mental health community (by which I mean those of us who struggle with mental health issues/illnesses) is a diverse one. Ask a 100 people who suffer from depression what it means to be depressed, and you'll get a 100 different answers. All of them true.
It's important to respect that (IMO).

The writer's truth wasn't my truth but that didn't make it untrue. If that makes sense.

Side Note: This is why I don't claim to be a "voice for the voiceless." I may stand closer to the megaphone than some, but when I speak, I speak for myself. About myself. If what I say resonates with the next person, reflects some part of their story, great. But sooner or later I'm going to say something that's true for me and me alone. And I reserve that right. My survival - rooted in self-expression, in sharing my truth, in my own time and way - depends on it. So when it comes to mental health, I make it clear: I don't speak for other people. And they don't speak for me. Because that would be impossible. Unless they happen to be a 45-year-old gay man of mixed race born in the UK, raised in Brooklyn, and their name is "Wentworth Miller."

(Then yes, they speak for me.)

Back to the blog post. The one that struck me.
CONTINUED ON WM'S FACEBOOK

I'll let him explain This was posted Feb 25th
Quote:
As many of you are aware, the new limited series run of PRISON BREAK is set to premiere on Tuesday, April 4th. This page will go quiet on Friday, March 10th.
I’ll post one last #fridayjukebox then step back from this space.
For how long? I don’t know.
Will this page and its content remain published? Yes.
Will people still be able to leave comments? Yes. On existing posts.
Will I be checking in? I don’t know.
When and if I return, will this page function in the same way? I don’t know.
When and if I return, but it’s somewhere else online, will I let folks know? Of course.

If that’s the case, I’ll post an announcement here where it can’t be missed, so people can a) find me and b) distinguish a new, authentic page (or pages) from fake pages future and fake pages present (ex: Wentworth Miller - Prison Break, Wentworth Miller (*Official) etc.).*
Until then, I’ll be staying flexible. Keeping an open mind. And heart.

I began my journey on social media with a single photograph. Now, nearly 3 years later, after 100s of posts, notes, links, and videos, after an enjoyable experience on Instagram and a less enjoyable experience on Twitter (I didn’t have a bad time, to be clear, I just never figured out what to do with it), after self-expression and exploration and articulation around mental health and self-care and queer issues and men’s issues with side trips into art, music, and photography, after practicing holding space for the thousands of people who have interacted with this page, many of whom I’ve become very fond of, who have taught me so much about capacity, empathy, boundaries, and tolerance... I’m choosing to bring this chapter to a close.
With gratitude.

I’ve received many gifts here. And a lot of gold. This page has stretched, humbled, challenged, sometimes angered, and frequently inspired me. It’s made me laugh. And moved me to tears.
I wouldn’t change any of it.

This is not me signing off. Not yet. I’m just giving folks advance notice.

Now into the homestretch. With love. And thanks. As always. - W.M.

*FB will occasionally post random junk on this page (slideshows, ads, links to sites I’m not affiliated with, etc.). These will be examined and removed by me when I’m able

Can't wait to see. Wish he had his Instagram though. Especially since it has stories now.

Me too but from as far as I understand its been closed|deleted with no access so we should be lucky he didn't do the same for FB - 3 years that he was on their - so much must be there to explore

True. At least we have something.

I really want to read his other script and see the movie. I read the description to my friend because she likes creepy things and she said she would watch it with me
