TWLOHA Day

So today is TWLOHA Day!! If you don't know what that is it's To Write Love On Her Arm. If you still don't know what it is, go
here->
http://www.twloha.com it'll explain everything!
TWLOHA is an amazing organization! Their intentions are incredibly beautiful! And I totally support them! However... There are people out there who use this org as a way to get attention. They'll only buy and wear their shirts because "it's cool" or because they saw their favorite celebrity wearng it. Have we become so insensitive and so concerned with being "cool" that we fail to see the reason and meaning behind the things we support? If you only support something just because someone else is then what's the point in supporting it? And I use the word support VERY loosely!
Why am I so worked up over this? Because I personally know what it's like to struggle with both depression and self injury. And I think it's incredibly insensitive for someone to show their support for something they don't know anything about. All except for seeing their fav celebrity "supporting" it, so why not be like them? Celebrities are people too!! They are just like me and you!
So if you are one of those people... and if you don't know the story behind TWLOHA, please go and educate yourself!
