I recently heard about an event that I thought I would tell everyone about. It is called ‘LOVE is the Movement’, supported by the foundation “To Write Love On Her Arms”, which raises awareness for suicide and depression.

Valentines week has the highest rate for suicides than any other time of year. It also has the highest rate of breakups. Valentines day might be happy and joyous for those who have a girlfriend/boyfriend, but for those who don’t, it can be a really depressing time. This year, TWLOHA has organized a world-wide event called Love Is The Movement. Participants are to write the word “LOVE” on their arm, or “Love is the movement”, or something to that effect on both the 13th and 14th. Then throughout Wednesday and Thursday, when people ask about your arms, you are to explain about TWLOHA and tell people that they are loved by someone. This is a really close issue to my heart as I recently lost someone to suicide, and I think it is really important to just show other people that they are loved. This isn’t just something you can do on Valentines day, you can do it for the rest of your life. You can make a difference in peoples lives every day just by spreading a little love… a smile, a hello. It really makes a difference and I would love if more people got involved in Love Is The Movement. After you talk to people you are supposed to ask if you can write love on their arms, in order to spread the word.

For those who want more info about TWLOHA and LOVE is the Movement, just post a reply and I’ll get back to you today. It’s really important to spread the love!!
