This is me 20 years ago. I am filming (and sleeping) in this rental house with friends. The Puffy Chair has recently premiered at Sundance. I am in a healthy relationship with the love of my life. After years of relentlessly pushing myself through the struggle, everything is finally working. I look so happy. Everyone can see it and is commenting on it.
Not long after this picture is taken is when I have a nervous breakdown. I don't see it coming. It brings me to my knees. Thankfully, the story ends well. I'm able to build myself back up with therapy, medication, exercise, consistent sleep, etc. In some ways, that breakdown was a gift to help me become the person I am now. It certainly made me a kinder, gentler father/husband/friend/collaborator/mentor. But it almost broke me.
Today is the last day of Men's Mental Health Month. Please remember that you can't always see what's going on from the outside. Sometimes it looks "happy." Check on your loved ones. Check in with yourself. And if you or someone you know is heading somewhere scary, @988Lifeline is a text/chat/call away.
Breaking: LeBron James will continue his NBA career for the 2026-27 season and has informed the Lakers that the franchise can move on without him because he will play elsewhere, his agent told @ShamsCharania.
@PhillyD I’m sure everyone here has incredibly valid reason to want or need 25k, and I am one of those people as well, as life stacks up and things get hard, but as a long time fan , I know that the 40 hands you pick will whole heartedly deservea as you are a great judge of character
For added context - here’s how close the scene of this shooting, 79th and Troost, is to where England will be in KC. 5 miles to Swope Soccer Village and 6 miles from the Inn at Meadowbrook.
England isn’t in Kansas City yet. They’ll get here on Saturday. @kmbc
