So, this week is National Suicide Prevention Week, and today TWLOHA put on an event called "Write Love On Your Arm."
We were asked to "create a beautiful canvas out of that which might seem another's last resort". So I did. (Well, Chase did the actual drawing.. I'm not that skilled!)
I think this sort of this is what I'm going to have my platform for the Miss Dixie pageant be.
This is something I'm passionate about, and I think that I could do a lot of good here on campus if I win the title.
I love the story that was the birth of TWLOHA, but my favorite quote from that story is this:

"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."

"The stars are always there but we miss them in the dirt and clouds. We miss them in the storms. Tell them to remember hope. We have hope."
