The Semicolon Project

[finding_my_way]

I wanted to share this blog post, but I can't just post it for some reason. So, spelled out, google the following: hpwritesblogs on wordpress. I love the concept of the semicolon.

I hope it helps inspire yet another individual struggling with depression, PTSD-based or otherwise.

I just saw this on Facebook. I drew a semicolon on my wrist just a few minutes ago - I think that this is a beautiful project.

My friend and I are going together to get this tattoo.

It makes me uncomfortable. It's a good way to explain mental illness and suicide to the ignorant, but the ignorant generally don't care and probably won't know enough grammar to comprehend it. Sorry, having a severe pessimism flare-up on this one. I'm afraid the tattoos may add to the stigma in some strange way.

I actually ran into a woman who had one of these tattoos yesterday. I mentioned it. We talked about our suicide experiences. She said, "I'm really grateful that I get to know so many people are also struggling to deal with this issue. I had been feeling so alone and isolated. I'm very grateful that I'm not alone with this pain."

I'm totally getting a tattoo when I get home.
