I'm sure many of you have heard of the organization "To Write Love On Her Arms". Well next Wednesday this group will be giving a presentation at a local college -admission is free- and my parents said we could go. I was excited until I read the information on the college website. It says they are going to talk about spreading awareness of the mental illness prevalent around the campus. I'm worried it's going to trigger me. Not to make me want to hurt myself, but that it will make me feel strange seeing my peers taking interest in this sort of thing the way I do. I know this is a good thing - reducing the stigma - but, I don't know, there's always been a reason why I don't think most people my age would be into something like this. It makes me feel special believing that I am the only person that pays attention to this...I know I'm not, but that's how it feels somehow. Does any of this make sense? It's so hard to explain. I'm just unsure of whether or not I should go.
