Project Semicolon

Recently, you may have  seen tattoos of semicolons trending across social media.  This is part of a larger movement called Project Semicolon which began in 2013.  Project semicolon found, Amy Bleuel, started the movement to raise awareness around suicide, depression, addiction and self-injury after losing her father to suicide.


When writing, a semicolon is used when the author could have ended the sentence with a period, but chose to continue.  (For example: Jane likes roses; Abby likes tulips).  The semicolon represents you as the author and your life as the sentence.  For many, it serves as a reminder to persevere through challenging times.
