Not by me, but Renee Yohe is my hero and role model...this was written about her in the To Write Love On Her Arms story...

"She has known such great pain; haunted dreams as a child, the near-constant presence of evil ever since. She has felt the touch of awful naked men, battled depression and addiction, and attempted suicide. Her arms remember razor blades, fifty scars that speak of self-inflicted wounds. Six hours after I meet her, she is feeling trapped, two groups of "friends" offering opposite ideas. Everyone is asleep. The sun is rising. She drinks long from a bottle of liquor, takes a razor blade from the table and locks herself in the bathroom. She cuts herself, using the blade to write "FUCK UP" large across her left forearm."

It really speaks to me. It's like they are talking about my life. I am sure many can relate. If you are unfamiliar with To Write Love On Her Arms you should really read this:

It brings me and so many others so much hope.
 
I'm not really into the whole religious aspect as well, but it seriously is a great organization. Nothing is really done to give those stuggling in that way hope, but they seems to do it. I went to go hear Renee speak and it was the most inspiring thing I have ever heard. She has a book called "Purpose for the Pain" which is pretty damn amazing.
