I don't even know where to start...
I guess I'm sick of this. I'm sick of always being associated with this one thing. But it's not even quite like that! It's like, Mandy doesn't exist and if she does, it's only because of that one other thing. I don't know how to explain this without giving it all away. :/ Time for crappy metaphors.

It's like the cause To Write Love On Her Arms... about two years ago, barely anyone knew about that cause. Also two years ago, barely anyone knew about Paramore. (I'm proud to say I knew of both. Just sayin') However, people were more aware of Paramore than they were of twloha. The main reason people knew about twloha was because they had seen Hayley Williams frequently sporting the shirts. Twloha barely existed without her. Note the word barely. Some people did know about twloha without reference to her, but for most it was just "That cause that Paramore was always wearing."

I find that kind of annoying. There's a whole lot more to twloha than that. To truly support it doesn't mean writing it on your arm when the Facebook day comes around. Take it further than that. Buy a shirt, a sweater, a sticker, etc. Reach out to someone. Go to a much further extent to support it. Don't just support it because everyone else is / it's "cool". Understand that it is so much more than "Don't cut yourself". Learn Rennee's story. Actually read what Jamie has to say.

Anyway, back to what I was first saying. Let's pretend that Mandy = twloha. Something else = Hayley Williams. Mandy/twloha does not exist without something else/Hayley Williams. :/ Mandy is more than that. Unfortunately, few people see this.

:/

I don't want to be perceived the way I am.
