So, tomorrow is To Write Love On Her Arm's Day. Since i'm a member of their Bristol Street Team I'm promoting the day on every site i can, i'm sure people will love me by the end of tomorrow
I've already seen a few of the deviants i watch posting pictures, and thanks to those who have. I just wanna go into a short description of what TWLOHA day is about.
TWLOHA are a non-profit organisation, created to support and raise awareness of those affected by depression/suicidal feelings/self-harm. It's designed for all ages/races/genders/sexualities etc. They aim to teach others and unwrap the stigma and taboo surrounding such topics as mental health, suicide and so on, and so are a very worthy cause to support, and it'll cost you nothing.
TWLOHA day is a day where supporters are asked to write the word "Love" on their arms, in any way you like, be as creative as you can This is to show your support for the cause. If possible, post pictures of it too, on dA, on TWLOHA's website or on the Facebook event page;

I'm a self harmer, and have been self harming for 8 years, i still do, and i've suffered from depression and suicidal feelings a lot over the last 8 years, so i know all too well what it's like to feel like that, and to have people who can you chat to, who aren't repulsed by the idea really helps a lot.
So, please, get involved. Show you care and help unveil the stigma attached to this sort of thing.
Thanks
