Been working on these flash designs for a while now and with September approaching and October not too far behind it’s extremely important to bring awareness to both of these matters. Here’s some intel on the central design:
People often get semicolon tattoos to support those who have lost the will to live. Survivors, friends, and families impacted by suicide use these tattoos as a way to honor the lives taken or almost taken by suicide. Authors use semicolons when their sentence could have ended but instead continued on because they had some more to say. In this world we are all our own authors and each sentence is our life. We have the power to keep going even when it feels as if everything is telling us not to.
Here are a few statistics to show how greatly suicide impacts the world:
⁃ In 2021 about 48,183 lives were taken by suicide
⁃ In 2021 there were an estimated 1.7 million suicide attempts
⁃ In 2022 about 49,449 lives were taken by suicide
⁃ On average, about 132 people die by suicide per day
⁃ Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the US
