"You matter" is a phrase that means to be valued and important to others. It can also mean feeling like you are part of something bigger than yourself, such as a community, family, or society. The phrase "you matter" is important to mental health and wellbeing. It can help protect against loneliness and social isolation.
The semicolon has become a symbol of hope for people who have battled depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental health issues. It is a reminder that even though their story could have ended there, they chose to continue on.
Do you know someone who struggles with mental health, suicidal ideations or has even attempted su***de?? Or maybe that person is you. If so, these pens and keychains are a good way to not only spread awareness but are also a great reminder that you matter, the world needs you and that your story is not over!!
