You just never know what someone is carrying behind their smile. [MEN]tal health battles are real. It hurts that so many men feel like they have to suffer in silence because they were taught to be tough, to โman up,โ to stay quiet but silence is not healthy. Being strong doesnโt mean holding everything in. Pain doesnโt make you weak, and speaking up doesnโt make you less of a man. Your feelings matter. You are allowed to cry. You are allowed to ask for help. You are allowed to not be okay.
