Today I learned that June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month
A few truths for my fellow fighters, often grinding in silence:
🔸It is ok to not be ok
🔸Communication is key
🔸Become vulnerable
Many of us tend to bottle up all of our emotions and shove them deep down in our gut.
I am here to tell you to let those emotions out. Find family, friends, loved ones to open up to. You will feel a weight lifted when you reach out. If you can't find anyone, my DMs are open. I may not have all the answers, but I promise you'll find a listening ear.
And if you are worried about trumping your masculinity card, it's ok. You can have emotions and still be an absolute beast. I cry a lot, and it does not change how I live my life with strength, courage, and a never back down attitude.
If you have read this far, know that I care about you and you are not alone.
