this video kind of reminds me of the "hold on" video by good charlotte. anybody who hasn't seen it should go watch it, because both of these videos are amazing.

This video is AMAZING and WONDERFUL!!! I am a recovering (recovered) cutting and burner. One of my besst friends is also a self harmer. When I saw this video...I was just in ahhh. People still do not accept that we "self harmers" do not do this for attention, but for the pain inside we feel. I have scars all over my body and people stare at me, but I look at the scars as to what I have overcome in my life. This video just gives me more hope and determination to stay recovered everyday, every minute, and every second. Thank you for that!!!

Wow. That's all I can say for this video. I cried reading the signs the people held up. This video reminds me that I'm not alone in having the feelings that I have and that there is a reason that I am trying to overcome self injury--that reason is Love. Thank you so much for doing what you do and putting out the message that you do. It matters to everyone, everyday. All I can say is, thank you.

i am one of the extremely lucky people who got to be a part of this video. i am the second person who tells my story, my sign read "cutting used to take my pain away, now love keeps the pain away" i want to thank TWLOHA for giving me this incredible opportunity. that was one of the best days of my life. the amount of love that was in that set is inexplainable. all of us that wrote those signs bonded in an incredible way and we are still in touch. it was very difficult for all of us to share our stories with the entire world, but we kept saying that if just one person is helped by our stories then it is worth it. i realize now that my pain had a purpose, and all i can feel is grateful. i hope all you enjoy the video!

I used to cut myself and now I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I've already been told that if it doesn't getting better it's going to turn into anorexia, but Love has been protecting me from that lately. I love this video. :D

nice song ...
it will inspire the likes of us ...
the signs were clear of an inspiration ...
it's not yet too late ... you have choices ...
i wonder when my girlfriend stops cutting ...
it's hard for me that the way it looks, ...
i feel guilty for her scars ...
it's like i'm the cause of it ...
and it makes me cut too ...
but i hold my life ... i've seen enough blood ...
thanks to this,ASL and its lovely lyrics ... =]

This video was EXTREMELY difficult to do. I remember driving to the shoot with my sister and entertaining the idea of turning around. I was unsure if I was truly READY to let my secrets out. To answer the question of "WHY" I got tattoos on my wrists. I don't have many scars all over my body, I have just a few on my forearms and wrists. I would slice open the same wounds over and over again. This day could NEVER be put into words. Each of us writting our stories, we found, were so much the same. We ALL have struggles. We all share two things HOPE and LOVE. Without one, the other would cease. We each have a disease that eats at us, but there are people out there just like you and I and they hurt too. It is time we LOVE eachother and embrace one another's flaws and find the beauty in the wounded souls and the pleading heart. It is time to stand for something. Stand for CHANGE, HOPE, LOVE! It is NEVER too late. My sister asked me, "don't you have to be healed to be here and write this?" I answered back one simple word, "No." These are our stories, your story, their story. Healing takes time but let the pain STOP before you do!

I am the last one before the song ends.

The girl at the VERY end is Lindsay and she is AMAZING. If you can't read her sign it says, "MY SCARS CAN HEAL AND SO CAN I!"

This is exquisite.
My heart aches for you, with you.
I am to.
It's hard to type; there's no way I will say it out loud.
It's a whole new world for me to see.
That you are all there, all here.
I love you love me love you.

I watched this video with my friend right before I told her that I knew about the cuts on her arms. This was my favorite A Skylit Drive song, and it still is but for a completely different reason. My friend stopped cutting that night after I told her I was there for her.

rescue IS possible.

I love this video, as well as the song. I am a cutter, and I have attempted suicide twice. But learing about this foundation, I have found the hope that I need to survive. Thank you A Skylit Drive, and TWLOHA.

i love this song,
the first time I saw it,
I just listened,
it was amazing,
then the second time,
I watched the signs,
so hopeful.
And then,
I watched the people
the lead singer looks like a girl
(not offense jag)

i have recently been battling the fight of self harm, drugs, and depression.
this video made me cry so hard, it had been the first time i have cried in 18 months. this video gave me new hope. when people asked me, 'why haven't you done it yet; if your so depressed and it doesn't go away.? aren't you miserable.?' i reply with 'To Write Love on Her Arms, and a skylit drive saved my life- literally.' My best friend is also going through hard times, similar to mine, i plan on showing her this video. and i want us to get better so we can live our lives till we're meant to go. i want to get my first tattoo, have a family, love like i've never been hurt, and get my self healthy again. i plan on telling my mom everything soon, i am 15. it seems like more and more people are thinking about suicide. i realize now; that its a selfish thought and we only think about our own pain instead of by committing suicide, the pain we would cause our loved ones. most of us don't do it for attention, but some do, and that gives us a bad name.
i hope this sheds more light on the problem. and that i've helped.
my quote is. "we do not create love and hope, we let it into our hearts."

much love, <3
