Today is To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA) Day. TWLOHA is a non-profit that has kind of exploded in the last two years, working to raise awareness about depression.
The writing on their site is moving and beautiful, in so many ways:
Rescue is possible/
Love is the movement
You were created to love and be loved.You were meant to live life in relationship with other people, to know and be known. You need to know that your story is important and that you’re part of a bigger story. You need to know that your life matters.
We live in a difficult world, a broken world.My friend Byron is very smart – he says that life is hard for most people most of the time.We believe that everyone can relate to pain, that all of us live with questions, and all of us get stuck in moments.You need to know that you’re not alone in the places you feel stuck.
Our hearts are heavy and light/
We laugh and scream and sing/
Our hearts are heavy and light
Check them out if you have a moment, it all started with one friend in need and is now a movement encompassing the world. And they have some pretty cool tshirts too!
So if you see someone with “love” written on their arms today, smile, say hello, thank them, even start a conversation.
