In 2006, Jamie Tworkowski wrote a story called "To Write Love on Her Arms" about helping a friend through her struggle with drug addiction, depression, and self-injury. The piece quickly went viral, giving birth to a non-profit organization of the same name. Nine years later, To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA) is an internationally-recognized leader in suicide prevention and a source of hope, encouragement, and resources for people worldwide. From personal stories of struggling on days most people celebrate to offering words of strength and encouragement in moments of loss, the essays in this book invite readers to believe that it's okay to admit to pain and it's okay to ask for help.
If you feel too much, there’s still a place for you here...".
3'5. Este libro se ha convertido en el rincón que me encantará volver a visitar cuando sienta que no pueda con más, cuando me sienta solo, triste, cuando sienta que mi vida no importa... Solo puedo decir una palabra: Gracias.
After knowing TWLOHA for a long time, I wanted to love this book. But I have to be honest and say that I didn't. I did not know that it was all this religious. It irritated me to read that God has all the good intentions etc. Also, I have the feeling that you can find the words 'hope', 'story', 'compassion'... on almost every page. Every page seems alike. Every story looks the same. I did not feel it. It did not sweep me off my feet. I did not feel what I had hoped for.
