Semicolon

Some, or many of you may not be familiar with the significance of the semicolon. It is the symbol of Project Semicolon - it is a symbol of hope, strength, community, and love for those struggling with Depression, Anxiety, Self-Harm, and Addiction.

This is a Christian movement, and I love everything about that. Generally, Christians have a very hard line on these issues, filled with judgement, and preconceived notions. That hurts, to present yourself to a community of love, share your story, and be judged because you tried to take your own life. "Suicides don't make it to heaven," "how selfish," all of that.

This is different, this is positive. This is shelter from the storm, and this just kicks ass.

So hey, Jake, I'm super lazy and don't feel like clicking on that link. WHAT IS Project Semicolon? It's community. It spans social networking, college and high school campuses, street sidewalks, and more. It's hope.

This is a project that deserves your support, because there are so many people out there who NEED your support.

Do you have to get inked to support the cause? Absolutely not. Just support them in whatever way you can, even if that is only in prayer. I've learned that the power of prayer is pretty impressive.
