As of right now we don't have a Bass Player, but when the time is right we will aquire one. We are currently looking for a record label and writing new songs. Hope you like what you hear, as we look forward to writing and playing music and touring very soon! Keep your eyes and ears open for more exciting news to come!
For the ppl out there who make negative comments about ppl who "attempt" suicide. Unless you've been there, you couldn't possibly know what you are talking about. For everyone out there who benefits from this website: hang on, Loves, the darkness can't last forever. For TWLOHA: thank you...
hey all, just wanted to say thanks for all you do. If anyone that visits here ever needs just someone to talk to, feel free to message me and i'll get back to you. =)
things have been getting worse especially i feel that every lyric from What's up - 4 NON Blondes is relating to me. ive been trapped inside my own head. the abuse i experience at home is too surreal. i just want someone to think that i am important. i have been so suicidal and wanting to hurt myself but all the doctors and organisation wont let me hurt myself. it was the only way to express my pain. i feel that i am unwanted, not needed and a burden to everyone. i feel as though i have nothin that can do to take my life. its just too much. I NEED HELP!
I know that you guys get comments constantly, and I honestly don't expect for you to be able to read them all, but I had to try. Today has been hard. Well, this week has been hard, actually. I suffer from bipolar disorder (type II, which deals with more of the depression) and anorexia, as well as being a former self-injurer. I've been doing amazing with all of the aforementioned, but for whatever reason (maybe the holidays coming up?) this week has been VERY hard. Tonight has been the worst though. I really do have a good life, and I recognize that. It's my own personal demons that are creeping up on me though. It's the fact that I'm on the computer as a distraction from waking up to a flashback - and I haven't had a flashback in a few months, which is a record for me. I've been eating really well & haven't purged in 7 months ... but I really want to right now. I feel like I don't deserve all of the goodness going on in my life & I feel like I need to be punished. I feel like I deserve the abuse that I used to receive, and now that it's gone, I need to pick up where everyone else left off. I'm just really having a rough night ... and I honestly want to cry, but I don't feel like that's okay. I hate crying; I feel like it makes me weak. I'm not sure why but when I got out of bed to get on the computer, this is the first page that I came to. I guess I just needed to vent, perhaps...?
*sigh* I hope everyone else has a good night tonight & a bright, beautiful day tomorrow.
my cousin melea killed herself three years ago in may.. TWLOHA has kept me so strong.. I only wish that she had heard of you all when or before i did... maybe your strong and gentle words could have been enough to keep her here. she is better off now... but because of you, i am better. your words have turned my outlook and lead me to believe that it would really be okay after a while. First there is grieving, the coming down- and thats the hardest. It's better and better every day, because I know how much happier she is. I just wanted to see so more of her bright smiles around my life. thank you, to each and every one of you who run To Write Love On Her Arms, you guys have given me hope for a brighter tomorrow, today.
When I thought there was no hope and all that was left was to end it all. Friends came to me saying "Love is the movement" I didn't understand at that time. They sent me to check out "To Write Love On Her Arms*" and so I did.. It's amazing what one little thing can do for a person. I was saved by one word. and that word was "Love". If it wasn't for this my bet is I would still be lost or long gone. So Thank You. Live for the change and Love while you can, don't wait till it's too late.
I just got home from the Blue October concert at Stubbs in Austin, Texas. I wanted you to know it was amazing. I visited the booth and I know have one of the Pick Up The Phone shirts. You guys are absolutely amazing. Without you even knowing, you've helped me through so much. Thank you for that.
The concert was amazing, but the best part by far was getting to meet the two people running the TWLOHA booth. They were so nice.
I once had the addiction to cutting. I felt like it was my only resort and my only way out. I felt like when something went wrong, I could just cut and blame myself and then maybe it would go away. I felt like i couldn't be happy,or that i didn't deserve to be. I felt like everything i touched would just leave. And for a while, that't what happened. And the cutting got worse. Truely,To Write Love on Her Arms has saved my life. And i realized that i'm not alone. I have not c cut for a while. Everyday i live with these scars. I like to look back at all that i've gone through and how i have made it. When people ask about the scars, i tell them. Because i think it is important for people to know about it. I thought that there was no way out, but there is, you just have to look for the light at the end of the tunnel, and you will find hope. Hope for tomorrow. Hope for the future. If anyone would like to talk, you can add my Myspace, i would love to talk to you. Dont be afraid, someone will always be there.
there once was a girl who had gone thro all of her middle school years and most of her high school years alone. with no one to understand her or talk to her. so everyday when she got home she let her feelings out, not by crying but but the marks and scars now on her arms. she has learned that over time life is hard and its hard to be alone but once she got over her addition and need to leave trails of blood of her arms she became strong. she wears the scars on her arms everday all the time as a reminder of what she went thro and how she dealt with it. she tells everyone that asks about how she got her scars. but the scars she wear are not just on her wrist but on her upper arms and legs. everytime she wears a bathing suit or a t-shirt people ask. sometimes its hard but she had made it thro, which has made her a stronger better person. that person was me. i have long stop cutting but still knows what its like when people look at you funny for having your scars. anyone that read this please feel free to talk to me. twloha told me about there story and i thought it would nice to tell mine. thx u guys
Hi, I hope you can take a couple minutes to read my comment even though I'm sure you are very busy and swamped with mail from other supporters. I'm a journalist for my high school newspaper and along with all of my additional articles I write a column called "The Music Corner." When thinking about what to write about for the December issue I kept coming up with blanks. All I knew is this month I wanted my column to have real meaning, to be able to make a difference in someones life. That's why when I logged on to my myspace account today and saw the updates alerting me of your new blogs I immediately wanted to do an article about TWLOHA. For me to be able to write about it in my column which I think would probably be better than writing about it in the form of a news piece I would take the approach of talking about how alot of musicians are supporting TWLOHA and then from there I would go into how it originated and what its all about. But, I wanted to make sure it was okay with you to quote things that are in your blogs and on your profile.
