***The semicolon (;) has a unique symbolism, especially in the context of mental health awareness. It represents a message of affirmation and solidarity with those who have dealt with suicide, depression, addiction, and other mental health issues. The semicolon is used as a symbol because it represents a point where an author could have ended a sentence but chose not to. (The story of the semicolon was created by Amy Bleuel, Project Semicolon/Founder.)
