Today is TWLOHA (To Write Love on Her arms). This is to raise awareness for those teens who are depressed/suicidal and who are cutters. What exactly does the word “love” really mean? Some say it’s a term of affection, others would say it’s a feeling of deep respect. Here’s what I translate love as: Love is when someone makes you feel like you belong, have purpose, have hope, and you know that no matter what happens or what you do, they will always be there for you. This love carries people through the hardest times in life, and the reason people start cutting is because that love isn’t there. They’re hurting so much and feel so alone that they want to feel something, anything. So they choose to feel pain. They need to release their emotions somehow, and if there’s no one to talk to and share their hurts with, they choose to cut. Everybody needs someone there for them to give them this love. There are so many people all around us hurting, What are you doing to help these people? Today you could make a difference. Today you could save someone’s life.
