To Write Love On Her Arms

The other night, my friends and I went to a major guest speaker on campus who was really, really good. It was the guy who does To Write Love on Her Arms. It's about writing love on your arms to remind you that you are loved and cared for when dealing with depression, suicidal tendencies, and drug related/other issues. They started a universal program, and have appeared as guest stars on many shows including the hit MTV's The Buried Life. They have appeared on talk shows and have their own myspace which started the whole program. One guy started this myspace to help this girl named Renee who was dealing with drugs and depression majorly. He helped her get through her problems and to a rehab facility. Soon after Renee's story, many other people found this myspace website and started to write their own stories on it. The stories and complications he told us were just amazing and inspiring. The overall performance was great and I really enjoyed what he had to say. They also had a singer who sings for them and their program. His songs and voice were really great and they all together really got the crowd motivated. I hope they have more major speakers on campus, I've been to two and they were both worth my time and very fun!
