“A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life”

[39adamstrand]

On 23 March 2017, 31-year-old Amy Bleuel took her own life.

Bleuel had struggled with mental illness and had survived 5 suicide attempts. She had started Project Semicolon in 2013 to spread “hope and love to those who are struggling with depression, suicide, addiction and self-injury.” The semicolon was chosen “because in literature a semicolon is used when an author chooses to not end a sentence. You are the author and the sentence is your life. You are choosing to continue.”  

Bleuel lost her own father to suicide when she was 18.

The American Suicide Prevention Foundation said about Bleuel, “she brought real awareness to an issue that is often misunderstood and can be complex in nature. Amy’s life was a testament that one person truly can make a difference. She had a powerful voice that gave others the confidence to speak openly about mental health.”

If you or someone you know needs support right now, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741. For more information on Project Semicolon, visit projectsemicolon.com.
