To Write Love On Her Arms

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 13, 2009, 4:09 PM


Love is the Movement.
All you need is Love.
Love lifts us up where we belong.

But sometimes we can't feel the love.



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.
To Write Love On Her Arms Day is a day where anyone can write the words love on their arms, to support those who are fighting against depression and those who are trying to recovering. On this day supporters write the word "Love" on their arms in the hopes that people will ask why, and more attention will be drawn to the cause and the treatment of depression, self-injury and suicide.
That day is today, November 13, 2009.

So why, on today of all days, did I get a text message saying "Did you hear?"
Jacob Olsen, a senior at my old high school committed suicide. He was my age. My grade.
His was the second suicide at Pioneer in 2 years. The fourth death (unless I'm somehow forgetting someone) in five years.

I don't know how to react. I left that school two years ago, but I still feel the pain.
I still feel the pain Michael Roberts left behind two years ago.
We will always remember.
How could we ever forget?


Please, please, please let those in your life know that you love them. You never know if something small could change a life drastically.
Be aware, and bring these issues into focus.

I'm Kate. Not Katie.
I'm 17.
I dye my hair.
I hate feet, but love shoes.
I love to talk about myself.
I'm cheesy.
I give my all to my friends.
I have my bad moods, but
I'm nice, trust me.

I have found Love.

You know. I think I'm going to stop questioning how I clean out more people than I want to when I go through my devwatch list. I just know that suddenly I'm like, "Huh. I haven't seen anything from them lately."
