I Tried to Find a Cure for the Pain...

I will now introduce you to the coolest organization ever. Ok, maybe not EVER but it sure is up there.

To Write Love on Her Arms
http://www.twloha.com/

They were inspired by a young woman named Renee. And now over 5 years later they are an organization dedicated to helping those who struggle with depression, self-injury and who feel alone. You can read more about them on their website as well as view merchandise they sell. You can also view a smaller selection of their merchandise at a Hot Topic store near you. Some of the proceeds from the sale of merchandise go to support suicide and other help hot-lines

And wearing a t-shirt isn't the only way you can make a difference. It's spreading the hope. Showing the love. You can make a difference. When was the last time you told someone you loved them? 
*****I challenge you to tell at least 5 people "I LOVE YOU" today and really, truly mean it.*****
 So many people in this world feel so alone. So take a chance, do something different today. Tell  at least 5 people how much they truly mean to  you.

p.s.
Ember White, I love you, you are the coolest roommate a girl could have and such a wonderful friend. Am I really lucky enough to know you? Thanks for sticking with me. Through everything.

Nina Mirabadi, I love you, you are my wonderful little freshman. I'm sad I don't get to see you as much now that I'm at college but I love you nonetheless. You will always be my little freshman. Always.

Michelley, Emily, Caitlin and Kathy, I love you all and though we are separated by distance, we are together as friends.

My college girlies, all million of you, I love you all and have had a blast getting to know you these past few months. I look forward to many more memories and late nights.

My guys, you know I love you and thanks for growing old and growing up with me [i know we're still working on the growing up idea :P ] I wouldn't trade my boys for the world.
