For the past four and a half months, I have had my address out on the internet as an invitation for anyone to send me their blades so they can take a step forward towards getting better.

In those four and a half months, I have received these:

71 blades
4 bobby pins
3 paper clips
2 safety pins
1 needle
1 letter opener
1 lighter

I can’t really say much in response to this, because honestly I don’t think there are words to describe how proud and how humbled I am.

These people are fighters, and the day they sent those away, it was another step towards winning the war.

Bless you all…Thank you for trusting me <3

NOTE: If you would like to send in your tools, I will accept them and I will attach them to cards and keep them safe just like the ones pictured above. You can send anything you want to:

Hi, I'm Elijah!

I'm 20 years old and I'm probably one of the strangest people you will ever meet. You see, I have this thing called aspergers syndrome which makes my brain work a little bit differently than most people's brains.

This is my blog about life and how I'm learning to use my different-ness to help make the world a better place. I have my ups and downs just like everyone else, but I'm not going to let anything stop me from changing the world.

My dream is to be a speaker and go around the world speaking to those who struggle to feel like they're worth something, and to fight for those who cannot do so on their own.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a fantastic day :)
