Stay strong friends… always. Your purpose is to be a rock which suffering crashes upon. You see more. You hear more. The world needs you.

Stay strong my friends. There is purpose within the suffering.

I mentioned some time back I wanted to go back to mental health as my primary message on social media. I will continue to voice my beliefs and opinions, but I think I should primarily focus on sharing messages that remind people of how to be not only happy, but strong in virtuous character in their daily life. Too much around us is noise outside of our immediate control, what matters is following a positive path in our daily life, which will inevitably spread positivity to those around you. Good luck out there my brothers and sisters.

Confront them before it’s too late. See your faults. Correct them. Your children will have unnecessary suffering if you do not. I commit to doing this.

I always knew my parents loved me, and I appreciate them, but expectations due to religious practices always made me feel as if I was a burden and not good enough. I questioned too much. Rejection and abuse from outside forces in adolescence shaped my mind to believe I was worthless and no one truly would ever appreciate and love me. That no one would ever see me. I was bullied for many years and feared going to school. Later in life, betrayal by those I loved and had given my loyalty to further convinced me that no matter what I do, I have no inherent value. Substance abuse to cope with this sense of worthlessness only increased my sense of worthlessness. I became bitter and angry. Emotionally volatile. Defensive, believing I’d been wronged by God and the Universe and I wanted vengeance. This all culminated by me wanting to end my life. ⁣⁣⁣

Fast forward to the present. I know I am worthy. I am confident. I deserve love. The irony is that the seeds of my past still remain. They affect my mind, and I must constantly introspectively analyze whether I’m reacting based off trauma of the past. Self-awareness is our greatest tool, but it requires traveling into our own shadow to find truth, and most humans avoid this. Why? Fear. ⁣⁣⁣

In my previous video I expressed that I wanted to start focusing on mental health again. That I want to help people, so I hope this resonates and is helpful to someone. ⁣⁣⁣Be strong my brothers! You are worthy of greatness! 💪🏼⚔️

The often subtle nature of depression for men. Stay strong my brothers 💪🏼

The truth. To any of my followers who struggle, I have one message of encouragement. Stay strong Kings and Queens. Life is hard and the mind isn’t an easy place to live. We often seek forms of escape to silence the internal noise. We fall, but we must get back up. The only failure in life is living in our mistakes and not telling them, “Enough is enough. You do not control me and I am stronger than you.” I like many, have fallen off the wagon and listened to the voice that told me, “You’re stronger now. You’ve accomplished so much. Surely you can enjoy yourself and you have control now.” That voice has one purpose, your self-destruction. Much love to you all ❤️

If my brothers ever have kids. Hell hyeah brother! 😎

This is the truth. It is not convenient. It will not give you peaceful sleep. It will not bring any form of happiness. All it brings is awareness of the shadow that lurks in the heart of man. With this knowledge, you are prepared to face it and hold strong with equal horror. It is important to have the capacity as men to be monstrous, yet not lose your compass of virtue. That is the slippery slope. To understand evil, yet not become evil. The more you befriend the horror of man, the more equipped you become to shield those most important to you from its malevolence.
