To Write Love on Her Arms

Hey guys! I just wanted to take time and tell you about this incredible foundation I have been working with for the last few years.

TWLOHA is a non-profit foundation that is dedicated to helping those who are suffering with depression, addiction, and mental illness. We educate that we are not alone and if help is always there and that you deserve help. We work with many crisis centers around the world and also travel to different festivals to spread knowledge.

We believe that: You were created to love and be loved. People need other people. Your story is important. Better days are ahead. Hope and help are real. I encourage you to check this organization out. I have been supporting TWLOHA since I was a junior in high school (four years strong)

If you'd like to donate, you can by going to their website. Or you can support them by buying a really rad shirt or other memorabilia. http://twloha.com/

I stand by this company because I know what it's like to feel alone. But really you're never alone. There is always someone out there that can be there for you and knows what it's like. Love is the mission.

Also, if you need the suicide helpline and you live in America here is the number: 1 (800) 273-8255 UK: +44 (0) 8457 90 90 90 Aus: 13 11 14 Canada also has the same number as the one as America

I'll try to find more and update when I do. If you would like to know more about my mission with TWLOHA, please PM me or send me a skype message. If you'd like to talk you can message me as well!

I really wish you all would spread positive vibes and remember to just be nice. Remember to treat people the way you'd like to be treated.

I remember back in high school some girl I liked was wearing a shirt with this printed on it and I the dashing freshman thought it was an emo band so I pretended to like it in order to get closer

She just stared at me blankly and called me a dimwit

Good to see it's a positive organization with a good cause

drinking away ur problems is hardly even an option anyway because hangovers are literally the worst thing ever

Yeah, I mean, Sirius was talking about going out and drinking, which is not something someone "drinking away their problems" usually does.

i don't think u should ever look at it as drinking away ur problems tho. there should always be a 'together' in there somewhere
deletedover 9 years
wasn't what i was doing. alcohol's just a medium for a lot of people by which to be together. and it's good to get drunk with people too. it's like disarming urself. people are gonna appreciate it from u. and as well as that it's good to be looked after when ur drunk. it's like in that song by fun, the carry me home one. alcohol actually does afford us something pretty

ur street art thing is cool evil. i imagine that'd be pretty damn therapeutic all right


Aye, I was inspired by an artist in Europe named Banksy. He is absolutely incredible, and he inspired me to do more than just mindless vandalism. I started putting my own agenda into it, calling out societal wrongs. My graffiti name was "Syndicate." I never ended up posting any of it, once I get a job (so I can pay the fines if I'm ever arrested), I'll probably start it up again. Only this time, on the other side of the country!

me and my buddies have an awesome support group, basically threatening each other with suicide by jumping off the pier in my hometown unless we drink away our hangovers with each other. it might sound kinda morbid, but it's nice and also funny. i have one buddy who's always calling to me depressed by having had sex with some ugly girl the night before, god bless him


I did something like this when I lived in Florida. We'd disappear into the parks and drink or smoke for awhile, I was into street art and we all would garb ourselves in black hoodies and pants. If I was going to be out of the house for a few days, I'd bring along my backpack and tag a few places until my step-father was back out at sea working.

This is my girlfriend and I's favorite place to purchase items from! We buy a ton of band tee-shirts, and I put the little letters they make with each purchase and hang them on my cork-board. This forum made me oddly happy!

Thank you for bringing this here! It's an absolutely astounding organization. I love seeing them at warped tour every year.


Hey yeah I saw them at warped tour last summer too! While I attended Shippensburg U I was a member of the TWLOHA club and I learned a lot there.




Sadly my school did not have a club for them, but i joined their storyteller's group awhile back. i still receive emails from them.
