Music
One good thing about music is when it hits, you feel no pain...
"With the door closed, you turn on your stereo. Someone is singing about problems just like yours. They're not commenting on them, not judging them, just echoing them, making them real, validating them. You sing along and the tears dry up... you are anything but alone." - Andy Greenwald

About me:
.. 
This originally started as a simple myspace for a group titled How to Save a Life based on the ideals behind The Fray's song: "And I would have stayed up with you all night had I known how to save a life." We believed that a community rooted in genuine love and a desire to share our lives with each other was all it took to save a life.
Three years later (summer of 2008), we began the long road to becoming a non-profit organization titled Open Our Eyes. Our goal is to educate our community on the following: the severity of suicide among teens especially, the warning signs which indicate a person is at risk, and the resources available to reduce that risk. We do not aim to take the place of talking with a medical professional. We simply hope to serve as a bridge to connect people with the help they need.
Open Our Eyes is a movement. It is a revolution. It is a call. It is OUR call. Will YOU answer?

We believe that pain is inevitable and the lesson is in the struggle not the victory. But it's something that you don't have to undertake alone. Humans were not designed to be alone. We're meant to be engaging - talking, laughing, eating, playing, working, worshipping... just generally being together. Being in community can help save lives.
4 out of 5 teens who attempt suicide give clear warning signs. Maybe it's time for us to open our eyes.
"We are a community of struggle. Some of us are rich people trying to escape our lonliness. Some of us are poor folks trying to escape the cold. Some of us are addicted to drugs, and others are addicted to money. We are a broken people who need each other and God, for we have come to recognize the mess that we have created of our world and how deeply we suffer from that mess. Now we are working together to give birth to a new society within the shell of the old. Another world is possible. Another world is necessary. Another world is here." - Shane Claiborne
IMPORTANT: Talking with anyone here does not take the place of talking with a medical professional. We are not experienced in any medical field.
