Twloha

TWLOHA... to write love on her arms. Their mission statement is "To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery."

I am a huge fan of this organization and movement. Throughout my life, I have struggled with self-worth, and accepting myself for who I truly am. I have cut, am battling depression, and have contimplated suicide several times. I would drink to excess. I am battling demons in my head that tell me that I will never be good enough, that I don't deserve friends or family, that no one cares about me.
The reason I like this organization is I feel like I am not alone with my struggles, and I have another place to turn when I start to slide back into bad habits. It reminds me that I WILL have freedom from my addictions, that I CAN put down the razor blade and bottle of beer for good and I WILL get better. My life may be broken into a million pieces, but TWLOHA reminds me that those million pieces can be put together. There is hope. It may not seem like an achievement, but it's a miracle each day I am alive. After all, life IS worth fighting for. I recently bought some TWLOHA items, as a reminder that I am not alone in my struggles.

Their website is To Write Love on Her Arms > Home. If there is ONE thing to come out of this, I hope this organization can change even ONE person's outlook on life, and they will seek help, and find hope.

 

:icon_bigg Thank you. It has been a rough road, getting myself back on track and to remember life IS worth fighting for. It is though, a journey that will help me make a lifetime of memories.
