It's still Men's Mental Health Month and we don't want to do the talking.
Now we want to ask our community of men here:
Answer this, and let's have a discussion.
- What does being a man mean for you?
- What's it like to be a man?
Please don't ghost, let's have your responses.
You don't have to carry every expectation placed on your shoulders. The people who truly value you won't require you to lose yourself to keep them.
Choose yourself too.
Last week may not have been the best, but you can make this a better week.
One difficult chapter should not make you forget the whole story.
Happy new week, Spacers.๐
I genuinely think beaches are underrated.
Thereโs something about staring at an ocean that reminds you your problems, as loud as they feel, are still tiny in the grand scheme of things. The next time God does it for me, Iโm not rushing back, 1000 folks will have to beg and carry me before I leave.
And not just books alone, go outside, meet people smarter than you, donโt feel timid and see them as oppressors.
Have uncomfortable conversations, learn new skills, attend events, travel if you can afford it, start from neighboring states. Ask questions like maad, be curious about the world and your environment.
Learn how things work, learn how money works, learn how people think, learn how systems are built, learn how to communicate, learn how to solve problems.
Too many people are intellectually stagnant, waiting for the next trending topic, celebrity drama, or the big X gist to occupy their minds for a few hours/days before moving on to the next distraction.
Your mind is too valuable to be fed exclusively on outrage, controversies, gossip, and recycled opinions.
Read widely, think deeply, challenge your assumptions, build competence, develop interests beyond social media.
The world belongs to people who are constantly learning, adapting, and evolving.
Donโt let your entire personality become a collection of tweets, memes, and other peopleโs opinions. Become a person of substance, your future self will thank you for it.
