Dear lovelies: What’s your identifier? Not the thing that others see but the thing that makes YOU you? Love, me 🧡❤️ (Thank you to @ohnabaa for the lovely inspiration and this tribute to Holding Up the Universe!) ❤️🧡 #holdinguptheuniverse #whatsyouridentifier #iamhere #fanart #speakupsaturday #journal #creativejournaling #journalart #youmakemelovely https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_YTLNpUyW/?igshid=5g0stkagkmkp

Dear lovelies: This #speakupsaturday post was inspired by the recent suicide attempt of a middle school boy. It’s important to not only speak up for yourself but to speak up for others. To listen. To pay attention. To reach out, be kind, be lovely. To let others know they’re not alone and that they would be missed if they went away. Too many people struggle in silence and don’t ask for help. We need to be there for them before it’s too late. Let’s be here for ourselves and for those around us. Let’s turn I WAS HERE into I AM HERE. I love you all more than I can say. Love, me 💜🌸 (link to life-saving resources in bio) #finchwasreal #alwayskeepingfighting #allthebrightplaces #youarenotalone #suicideprevention #mentalhealthmatters #stopbullying #suicideawareness #theodorefinch #letsstopsuicidetogether #iamhere https://www.instagram.com/p/BvFMw1KB4BR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9onhhoms2eqg

September is #suicidepreventionmonth lovelies. Reach out, speak up, listen to those who are struggling, let others in, remind those you love that you are there for them no matter what, ask for help when you need it, and know that you are not alone. I’ve tagged some wonderful organizations that are here to help. Let’s spread awareness and empathy and love. Together we can save lives. I love you! ❤️ #hope4today #suicideprevention #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #youarenotalone #speakupsaturday #allthebrightplaces #theodorefinch #iamhere #alwayskeepfighting (Thank you @zitatc for the lovely image!) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMHBgAB6Up/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l8y1o0cv5gh6

Dear lovelies: When I look at all your posts and pics and fan arts, I’m forever in awe at the brightness and beauty you’re putting out into the world. It’s one of the many ways of saying #iamhere ✨💜 What other ways are you making your mark and using your voice? I know one of them already— by making me lovely. 🌸💛 #speakupsaturday #allthebrightplaces #fanart #theodorefinch #violetmarkey #iwashere #wewerehere

These hair ties I bought at the @harrystyles concert last night are the absolute loveliest 🖤💗 No matter what’s happening in my life, I always do my best to choose kind and make it lovely. And I love the ways I see you all doing the same. Together we really can make the world a brighter place for others. You definitely make the world a brighter place for me! 💫🌸💞 #youmakemelovely #allthebrightplaces #harrystyles #treatpeoplewithkindness #choosekind #makeitlovely #speakupsaturday

Dear lovelies: Introducing a new weekly theme: #speakupsaturday 🗣🌼 In the wake of this heartbreaking week and the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, we need to speak up and out more than ever, to join voices and come together to fight the stigma surrounding mental illness and to remind each other we are not alone. One person every 40 seconds dies by suicide. Let’s stand together and do what we can to help others stay here and get the help they need and deserve. Join @thelxvelies and me next Saturday for an Instagram live (details to come soon) as we join voices and hearts in an effort to remind each other that we are not alone. 💛💕 #allthebrightplaces #theodorefinch #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #stopsuicide #standtogether #suicideprevention #alwayskeepfighting #youarenotalone

On #speakupsaturday I want to remind you that you are lovely just as you are. That you are lovely because you’re you. And that no one should ever make you feel less than lovely, not even yourself. ❤️🛎 #Repost @mentalhealthamerica ・・・ Do you know the story of the Mental Health Bell? In 1953, @mentalhealthamerica melted down chains and shackles from asylums across the US originally used to restrain people with mental illness with the vision of creating hope out of heartbreak and cast them into the Mental Health Bell. The symbol serves as a reminder that we must not be afraid to fight in the open and that the invisible chains of fear, shame, and #stigma that bind people who live with mental illness are not definitions of the individual. . . . . #mentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalhealthawareness #noshame #fightintheopen #b4stage4 #nostigma #stopstigma #history #alwayskeepfighting #mentalhealthmatters #allthebrightplaces #hope
