This is what love is.

To Write Love on Her Arms is not some name for a Dashboard Confessional song.
It's not a passing fad.
It's not a catchy phrase for T-shirts.


To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.


Today, I got to meet the man who started it the program, Jamie Tworkowski.  He and some friends met a girl who was struggling with addiction.  She tried to get help, but the rehab center wouldn't accept her unless she could stay sober for five days.  So Jamie and his friends took her in for those five days.  Later, Jamie wrote down her story and titled it "To Write Love on Her Arms."


If you don't know much about it, I encourage you to check it out.


Reckless Tip of the Day: Go out of your way to help someone.  Anyone.
