THE VISION by TWLOHA. * Our-Own-Victims believes in the same ethics. You were created to love and be loved. You were meant to live life in relationship with other people, to know and be known. You need to know that your story is important. You need to know that your life matters. We live in a difficult world, a broken world. We believe that everyone can relate to pain, that all of us live with questions, and all of us get stuck in moments. You need to know that you're not alone in the places you feel stuck. We know that pain is very real. It is our privilege to suggest that hope is real, and that help is real. You need to know that rescue is possible, that freedom is possible. We know that the first step to recovery is the hardest to take. Your life is worth fighting for, that it's possible to change. The vision is people putting down guns, blades, and bottles. The vision is that we would learn what it means to love our friends, and that we would love ourselves enough to get the help we need. The vision is people finding life, finding freedom, finding love. The vision is that your best days are ahead. The vision is the possibility that we're more loved than we will ever know. The vision is hope, and hope is real. You are not alone, and this is not the end of your story. |
