This was beautifully written. At some point in life we all forget the beauty that is naturally in our bodies. No matter how much we try to shape our bodies to look a certain way, there is something wonderful in the way we are when we just live and let our bodies tell our story.

This is really inspiring. This whole website is. I've been struggling for the past 4 years with not only being worried about the way my body appeared but many other obsticles i've had to overcome. It's good to know that there is hope and people out there that really do care. At times i feel alone, but now i see that i'm not. Suicide has crosed my mind many of times, but i will never let it get the best of me. I will always choose life thanks to twloha and seeing the experience you went through and have overcome. You're a hero. (:

I've always felt that beautiful shouldn't be allowed to be used as an adjective to describe the outside of a person. The only thing that can be described as truly beautiful is the inside of a person; the feelings, the desires, the dreams, the fears, the motivation. The inside is what makes the outside shine.

Thank you for sharing. You are beautiful.

Dealing with depression/anorexia for 20 years, and what i have come to realize is that so many stories are so simuliar to my own. I feel them as I read. I cry for myself and others that feel the same as I do. That are goin thru the same thing I am. I have found in my "up" days that when I am happy my soul does shine thru and true beauty does reach the surface. It's noticable to everyone around me. So there is so much truth in inner beauty. I just wish I could keep that realization thru out the "down" days too. I have hope and this site gives me even more. To know you are really not alone, strengthens my Faith. Love to all

Everyone here is beautiful. Beautiful because you keeping on breathing, and every single time you breathe in you breathe in HOPE. You are alive and your life means so much. You don't need a guy or a magazine to tell you what beauty is, the creator of the entire universe doesn't make mistakes and he made you just the way you are because he thinks you are beautiful. You don't need to feel guilty when you eat. You don't need a knife to tell you that you're still alive.
Love is real and rescue is possible.
When you fall get back up... I quit SI for 8 months then relapsed. I'm on day 18 now :). When you fail don't view it as "now its day one again, cause i'm a failure" view it as "WOW i made it eight months or 3 months or 3 weeks or 3 days without cutting, and next time I can make it longer"
Don't let the ground define you, make the stars the thing that defines you...
stay strong my friends... the night doesn't last forever.

That was beautifully written. It is very hard to feel beautiful when all you feel is ugly. When all you have is hatred towards yourself. I am beginning to learn that I am beautiful and that 9 years of scars, tell a wonderful story of triumph over tragedy. Sometimes, all we need is for somebody to say, "You look beautiful today." Stay strong, and know you are loved. <3

Kendra,
I've been where you are, and to say I'm all better now would be a lie. I have my good days, and I have my bad days where I feel like alone, lost and confused. I want you to know that all that has gotten my through is my faith in Jesus Christ and a couple of good friends. I never knew how many amazing people were out there until I hit rock bottom. I think you'd be surprised how many people care about you and who would drop anything to help you.

"I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake them."
that's isaiah 42:16. You're never alone.
i don't know if you're a christian or anything but i want you to know: people are out there and people care.

51 | Left by Anon | Feb. 27, 2010 at 9:54pm

This is beautiful. I personaly never cared about what people thought. I told others they were beautiful bt no one listens. But this is be my truth that the outside is somehing you can judge by the eyes but the inside were there is the true beauty only the heart of a friend, mother, father, or loved one can uncover. Most of the times the people that judge you are insecure so don't take things personal when they criticies you because there's always others that know the true you:)) I really love this web site and it give people a second look aat the though of ending the beautiful life god gave them for soething that has nothing to do with them, but from the people that judged you. This is really meaningful to me and I qppriciate it<33

Anyone who tells you otherwise is sadly mistaken. Love yourself, and always try to be the best possible version of yourself.

After I cut, I sat there crying--hating myself for doing that to myself, when my best friend was only a room away, no less, but then I remembered this post, read it again a few times... and threw away my blade. Hopefully this time I'll make it more than a month--but I'm saving this post so whenever I start to think that I'm not good enough or pretty enough or thin enough, I might be able to remember.

Thank you for sharing your life lessons.

I struggle with general self-abuse. When my God and I are victorious over one struggle, i bear the mental and physical scars into the next battle.

But it's ok because one day, I have faith, God will use each scar to help heal someone else. I have seen this happen a couple times,already which is great encouragement. Usually, it happens in some way that I can't explain or take credit for.

The struggle to love myself continues on, but dear friends don't give up.

This amazing.
i am 13 and heartbroken. this helped so much and in so many ways. it moved me and encouraged me to stop harming my body. ive gone 3 months now without cutting and it feels amazing. even though sometimes i feel im back to square one, i read this and all the pain goes away. this inspired me. on April 5, 2010, i sent out a text to the whole 7th grade saying to write love on your left forearm in symbolization of twloha... everybody did.
thatnk you soo much.. you guys continue to inspire me to do the impossible.

I've lost my best friend. He stopped eating 3 weeks ago. He's gaunt. Drawn. He's also cutting. I first read this and wished I could show him this without having him freak out on me...Then I scrolled down and read the comments. The comments that you all posted are helping me gather the courage to show him this post. TWLOHA has saved my life, and I want to continue in that tradition in paying it foward.

Thank you.

Amazing -- simply amazing. So beautifully written. Everyday you are told that you're hair is wrong; your clothes are wrong; your make-up is wrong; you are wrong. I'm so glad I took the time to read this... I really needed this.
Thank you for making me feel the way I do now.
